Ok Gentle Folks, Seeing that I never received any responses to my last post, please allow me to ask the question in another way. As a newbie, I am quite ignorant of the commercially useful/practical applications that PIC microprocessors can be used in. Could anyone say what are the different uses that a PIC16x84 can be applied to? I would like to find a project that will allow me to become more familiar with PIC chips. Thanks Very Much and Regards, Ricardo Kingston, Jamaica.
