Hello Nate,

    this gadget comunicates with a controller by EIA-485, the PIC's
hardware USART are being used, so it needs to be accurate, but not
"atomic clock" accuracy. :)

    I don't have any resonator or crystal with caps (also, our local
electronics shop don't have any) and I'm on a hurry so I need to work
with what I have.

    Best regards,

    Brusque
