It is an 8 pin part and has a maximum of 6 I/O lines. Also, it doesn't get down to $.50 except for LARGE quantities. Still, it's the cheapest PIC there is, even if it might cost $.75 in medium quantities. I've used this PIC as a watchdog, a morse code tone generator, a stepper motor controller, and a brushless DC motor controller. ******************************************************************** Olin Lathrop, embedded systems consultant in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, olin@embedinc.com, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
