Daghan na baya bro... sa giingon na ni master moklo na dili lang showy.
When I was in college last two years ago(sa baryo namo sa negros

), dili pa jud kaau sikat ang microcontrollers.
Ang reason ky wa jud klaro na burner, unsaon pag gama ug nindot na project na mcu based na di man gani maka burn sa PIC.
Another reason kay 16F84A ang gigamit na mas mahal pero mas limited ang features compared sa ubang PIC.
When I was doing my final thesis, ni email ko sa microchip asking for mcu samples specifically the 877A and 84a kay mao man daghan sample projects sa net.
Ang akong gi reason na ang akong thesis is a universal demo board based sa lain laing PIC para ma inspire ang mga students.
Which is entirely true, pero sadly gi turn down sa amo chairman kay DILI daw stable ang PIC. WTF!
Wa jud ko mag expect na tagdon ko sa microchip. Wa man sad ma wala nako.
I was so happy pag receive nako sa reply sa ilang reperesentative na how much do I need daw? And he convinced me to use a better and newer PIC instead.
Waaaaaaah!
I told them na I needed the maximum number of pieces that is allowable, haha.
They sent me 10pcs of 887 and 25pcs of 628A absulotely free of charge. These are the newly improved version of the devices I originally requested.

But there was a problem, those mcu's were stuck on my drawer ky wa jud tarung na burner.
That is why nipalit jud ko ug tested na burner katong Pickit2 sa Microchip jud mismo.
It costs me a lot ky mahal man sad kaau ang shipment.
Pero wa jud ko gabasol kay nagamit jud kaau nako until now.
After I graduated college, akong gipang hatag ang mga mcu sa mga lower years specially katong hapit na sad mag thesis.
I even made a demo board for the college, complete with buttons, LEDs, 7segments, PC interface, etc...
I also made tutorials para dili sila maglisud.
I also uploaded videos of some of my projects not to show off but para ma motivate and inspire ang ubang hobbiest labi na ang mga students.
Daghan jud kaau mabuhat ang PIC mcu.
Labi na ug naay laing external peripheral na idugang.
Like modules for ethernet, wifi, bluetooth, gsm, gps, rfid, gyro, biometric, color sensor, motion sensor, etc...
And output devices like grapical LCD, robotic arm, mobile robot, ipcam, etc...
These are all available sa e-gizmo store as mentioned by boss stealthghost, by the way thanks kaau bro sa nice words, hehe.
Ang nakapaet kay mahal lang jud.
That is why before ko nag sideline ug freelance, I do thesis projects FOR FREE para lang makahikap sa mga modules, hehe.
And swerte kaau ko kay daghan modules sa college na akong gi partimeman karun.
Hahaha taas taas naman diay ni. It took me two weeks to reply your post kay busy jud kaau.
Project time na para sa mga students.
For my visual basic project, I let them make a bluetooth powerpoint/media player remote, home automation using bluetooth and SMS(Globe Tatto), etc...
It's very inspiring to see student's enthusiasm everytime magsugod na gama ug projects.
