You would have to connect the PIC to some external transmitter, perhaps driven from the UART output. Keep in mind that any radio link is a noisy channel. At best the receiver will get most of the data intact most of the time. > 2. Do I need an external oscillator or not, I figure the most favored is an > XT. See section 12.2 on page 123 of the data sheet. I won't waste everyone else's time duplicating that information here. > 3.

The built in A/Ds work as long as you can scale your analog signals to cover most of the 0 to 5V range, the source impedance is no more than 10K ohm, and about 1 part in 500 accuracy over the full range is sufficient. Most of these conditions can probably be met easily if the hardware is designed with the PIC in mind. ***************************************************************** Olin Lathrop, embedded systems consultant in Devens Massachusetts (978) 772-3129, olin@cognivis.com, http://www.cognivis.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
