Free Microchip PIC Samples

5/1/2013

Did you know that you can get free samples of Microchip PIC Microcontrollers?
Go to www.microchip.com/samples

You will have to login so create a login account and then enter the site. From there you can select the family of parts you want to choose from and then the specific part you want.
Picture
Find the package type you need, in this case I've selected the PIC16F886 - I/SP which is the DIP package part used in the CHIPINO module. Then click on the little grey sample box to the left to load the part in your checkout basket. 
Picture
You can click on that up to three times to get three samples of one part number and you are allowed to get two different part numbers in one sample order. I believe you are limited to 6 total samples per month but for a hobbyist, this can be a monthly way to stock up your lab.
Picture
When you are done selecting your samples, you step through the check out process. Enter your shipping address and then complete the final order submission. In most cases they are shipped out for free.
It's Microchip's way of letting you learn and test your design with their parts.

in order to qualify for MicroChips free samples program, your email address must be from a registered business or university, so if you are a hobbyist otherwise, you are out of luck on the free samples unless you can obtain an email address with a registered business or university

I believe you just need a unique email address that isn't a yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc.
I'm sure you can get setup using your day job email account.
You might just create something that help your company.
