What kind of minimal hardware/free software(dos or windows) can i use to program the pic 16f627 ? Up to now i was using a Tait style programmer and the p16pro for dos software, and was programming 16f84s. Is this hardware setup (Tait style for the 16f84) compatible with the 16f627 ? Thanks in advance. juan. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
