It is rated for 4MHz (that is what the -04 is about) but often you will be able to use it at 10MHz, especially at room temperature and with a clean 5V supply. I do that all the time. But no guarantees! > Can i use ludipipo programmer with it without change? Yes > Can i use pic16c84 hex codes with it without change? Yes > Is there any tutorial on PICs programming on the net ? I thinks so (but the ones I wrote are presently in Dutch only) Download print an read the microchip documentation, that is the only real "source of wisdom". There are very small diferences between the 16c84 and 16f84 but when you start to notice them you will already be a seasoned PIC user. regards, Wouter.
