Can anyone tell me how i can get a pic chip to control a really simple circuit, do i have to buy a control board or something? i wanted to make a really tiny light sensitive LED circuit, but i have no idea how to get a PIC wired up to do this!

i have a velleman PIC programming board and a couple of 16f627A PICS

Cheers guys!

Get a suitable PIC prototype board.
Otherwise, using a bare PIC, you'll have to provide power supply, clock and reset circuit on a pcb.

You also need the free Pic program MPLAB IDE or MPLAB X.
For instructions, there is the Nigel Goodwin Tutorials and and the free intro from Gooligum Electronics.

If you have the Velleman board start by reading their manual.

Then check Microchip's code examples.
