How-To: Web server on a business card (Part 1) - Hack a Day

for years, microchip pic microcontrollers dominated; pic16f84 hacks and projects are everywhere. the 8-bit 16f and 18f lines are supported by several coding environments and easy-to-build serial port programmers. microchip?s 16-bit pic24f is cheaper, faster, and easier to work with, but largely absent from hacks and projects.

we recently used a microchip pic24f microcontroller in a mini web server project, but didn?t find many introductory references to link to. in this article we?ll cover some pic 24f basics: support circuitry and programming options. we?ll also talk about our favorite features, and how we figured them out. our next article will outline a web server on a business card based on the pic 24f.

This is pretty cool, I would like to do something of this sort if I new how to sodder and such. Anyone want to get me a soldering gun, and some chips?
