Hi, All these days, I've been using PICs with Crystal Oscillators. But now, I've got an application which needs a cheap and dirty RC Oscillator. The 16f84 data sheet only says: Recommended values: 5 kW # Rext # 100 kW Cext > 20pF I tried a resistor of 15K and a Cap of 0.1 mfd. But it does not work. Could someone advise me on how to get this working and how to calculate the frequency for a given value of R and C ?
