Hi all, I'm a newbie to the list. I am just learning about PICs. Thanks to great books by people like Myke Predko, Paul Benford, Gordon Macnee, Nigel Gardner, Peter Birnie and John Morton, it's all *just* starting to make sense to me - thanks guys! I have now written 3 little projects for the PIC12C508A - one of which has been produced in reasonable quantities and shipped without a hitch. I am now working on a project that will use the cheapest 18-pin I can find - most likely the PIC16C52, 53 or 54. I have searched everywhere, and I can not confirm if these devices have the weak pull-ups on Port A and/or Port B. Can anybody confirm whether they have them or not and how to set them? Also, is the PIC16C52 still made? There is no reference to them on the Microchip site, yet I can still buy them from Farnell. Could be just old stock.
