8. Starter kits

Many microcontroller manufacturers make their own starter kits. They are usually difficult to build, because they are mostly intended as technology demonstrators. SV PIC18F2xJ50 starter kit is of a different kind. It is intended to be easy to build as well as allow a practical use.
