Larry, -----Original Message----- 1) I'm new at this and would like to ask MicroChip for a few samples. How do you go about asking. I don't want to sound like a freeloader I have bought afew on E-Bay and DIY kits. I do have plans on getting several (500) later on. Any proper way to ask?? Use Web site or ask your rep. 2) I have a HEX file that I'm working with. How do you tell how much memory is required in a PIC? I plan on moving from one PIC to another.. import your hex file in mplab and view disassembly and save it as xxx.asm then make new project compile mplab should show you that I hope. 3) I hope I sent this correctly to the Piclist? I have seen the : inside the [PIC:] as well as outside the [PIC]: Looks like it works both ways.
