> I have a Pic Start Plus ... - Put the PS+ aside, use the ICD for all development work. - You seem to value your time and spend money accordingly, so invest some more in a good book (or maybe more than one) and a compiler (C? Basic?) that fits your programming experience. - When expected development cost exceeds production costs: switch to the 18F series. - Read read read the datasheet. and again. and the midrange reference manual.
