The design is simpler than Microchip starter Kit, but you can make your own projects at the cheapest cost and without "expansion" boards. The quality of the proto-area is very good and it's a real pleasure to solder components on it, many times without the risk of damage. The worst problem is debuggin: Microchip's MPLAB doesnt support directly PicKit2 and ICD. Also the JTAG connector is another great promise betrayed from Microchip, till now. Now there is the new PICKIT3 wich should enable the debugging on ICD port... I have this board and it’s good.
