Hi, if you want to learn to swim, you should jump into a pool. Right..?
To learn programming microcontrollers, you should have few basic hardware set ups that will provide you required foundation to build your skills. So I suggest you to buy the components listed in the attached file. You need a PIC16F18877 evaluation board, an USB cable, few components and sensors to practice and to check if it really works or not. I have given links for each of these components so that you can order it from your favorite online stores. You may also buy those components from a local store or other places. But check once the links to make sure that you buy the exact component. Small variation in the components like make, color and cost does not matter. But it should have the same functionality and looks so that you can do the required connections by watching the video lessons.
You need few of these components for module 2 and more components/sensors as we use them in subsequent modules.
You also need a computer or laptop for installing IDE, C Compiler and to write codes for PIC microcontroller.
