Hello Mike (N4JRD)!

>reference applications and a much better description of Pbasic command
>ny other pic basic compilers ?What do you think about picbasic ?

I am using also PICBASIC and I am very satified. No problems. I have done a
keyboard scanner( 8*8 matrice) to RS-232 ( 9600 baud), a serial to 4*20 LCD
with many options ( EEPROM logos, 12-bit AD-converter, cursor control, row
control). Serial to 4*relays ( 12V coils, 250VAC 10A contacts, 3*16-bit
AD-converter to serial ( 3 USD coverter chips!). No I am thinking serial to
PWM problem ( no spikes to output during serial input), Halogen lamp ( 12VAC
2A ) or 4-20 mA current output control by serial etc.
