Parts on the way

Just ordered a programming board and some MCUs. The cost was fairly cheap and I'm really looking forward to playing around with the chips.

I've decided to start work on one of the eyes as a first step. This will be the eye that is essentially a fancy flashlight. I want to do this outfit and the only way to make it is get started. The electronics are fairly basic and will be a nice way for me to get going.

The kit I ordered is https://www.microchipdirect.com/productsearch.aspx?Keywords=DV164121

In addition, I ordered 10 chips. (Only about $2 a piece.). I ended up going with the PIC16F887. I'm really looking forward to this... :)
