Roman, Which Murata resonators do you use? How much do they cost? TIA Looking forward: Alan Shinn Experience the beginnings of microscopy. Make your own replica of one of Antony van Leeuwenhoek's microscopes. visit http://www.mindspring.com/~alshinn/ >Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 20:12:21 +1000 From: Roman Black Subject: Re: [PIC]: Oscillator leads I always use hot melt glue to hold the can down, THEN solder it, THEN cut the leads with nice sharp cutters. Never had a failed crystal. Recently i've switched to Murata ceramic resonators for anything that doesn't need a perfect clock speed, these resonators are very robust. >-Roman -- -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
