What's the easiest way to program the PIC18 for this project?
(optimized for simplicity and minimum amount of components)

@koaftder:
Could you describe your soldering methods?, a page like the one HenryCase showed would be nice. And if you do a video please code with mpeg4 or something similar efficient.

Has anyone oven soldered the Minimig ..?

@nBit7:
I presume they use fluid flux from a syringe first?
The soldering station seems weird.. 139 'C ..?

Is all that intial flickering normal?, howcome it behaves like that. Asfaik the *.bit file is 1699136 bits long and will take 0,28 seconds to load at the default builtin clock of 6 MHz, the current setup with a 20 MHz PIC18 should be even faster.
