I am doing a board with a PIC18, on which I'm planning what I'm calling an expansion connector. Basically I want to bring all the unused I/O, along with some other pins to a connector that will allow me to make various daughter-boards that can be plugged-in as future options. Normally, I tie all unused I/O to Gnd. DOing this will be somewhat challenging, since any of these will be made useless for future use if this is done permanently. The options I can foresee are either shunt-jumpers to Gnd, or perhaps setting all the unused pins as outputs. The latter is something I have never tried. I'm hoping one of you has some insight to share on this. TIA, Chris -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
