There was a recent thread talking about overclocking PICs, but from the spec sheets it appears they will run at any slow speed. Has anyone tried running a PIC at something like 10 Hz. I don't have anything that will generate that slow of a clock to try it out. Alex -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
