The software associated with the kit supports the PIC16F1829 and PIC18F14K22. The 
software is intended to run on these two devices, although the software can be easily 
ported to other devices.

THE LOW PIN COUNT BOARD
Support for 18-pin devices requires some board modifications. 14- and 20-pin PIC 
devices will have full access to all of the human interface devices. If an 8-pin part is 
used, then the LEDs will have to be bridged to the necessary pins on the PIC MCU. 
The switch and potentiometer are already connected to pins that are supported by an 
8-pin device. The board provides holes next to the LEDs that can be easily soldered to 
in order to create any desired hardware changes.
The board is programmable by an In-Circuit Serial Programmer™ (ICSP™), such as a 
PICkit™ programmer. The board should be supplied with 5V.
