Hi, my name is Jens, and I create beginner-friendly electronics tutorials and projects. Everybody can learn electronics! (he/him)

What happens when you combine a PIC microcontroller with the idea of retro Christmas lights? Find out in my new tutorial, happy holidays! https://t.co/MlnccBKXXV

Any tips for photographing LCDs?

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

@paulgeraghty OK, hint: this has a 30cm diameter :)

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

Anybody know what this is?

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

Now what could you build with this... :) Tutorial coming soon!

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

Sneak peek for the upcoming video... Any guesses?

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

@matseng @Hacksterio Yeah it's really more of a general purpose idea :)

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

@3DPrintAficio This will be a one-off project, so no PCB, just hand-wiring on a perfboard. But I want to make it easy to understand for beginners (on my channel I have covered all components, with the exception of the LCD, which will come in the new year).

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

A bit more parts on the next project... Any ideas how to make the schematic more readable?

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

Why do calendars have to be boring? Build your own with LEDs, switches, and without any microcontroller! https://t.co/OXlMbb0GRh

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

New video coming later today!

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

@RueNahcMohr I'm afraid this one has no microcontrollers :)

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

Switches and LEDs... what more do you need?

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

Any ideas what the next video will be about?

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

@MicrochipMakes Thanks for sharing, I hope it is helpful to beginners! :)

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

@tdarlic @MicrochipMakes Good question: I wanted to cover beginner and budget-friendly options. Of course the PICkit4 and PICkit5 are also excellent choices.

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

Should you use the PICkit3 or the MLAB Snap? New video is out: https://t.co/hxA2697MsF

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

@3DPrintAficio Well the Snap doesn't even have HVP, does it?

[FriendlyWire @FriendlyWire]

So the MPLAB Snap doesn't like HVP (meaning that you cannot use MCLR as an additional input). Any workarounds?
