Hello Marco, I don't known if you must use the 16F84. If no, then change it for 16F627 (pin compatible). You have then the possibility to run it in INTRC mode with two possible speeds of 4MHz and 37kHz. When this is not possible, you can just connect another 32kHz crystal the chip and make the timming based on the timer1 counter. Kind regards, Andrej _________________________________________________________________ Join the world s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
