Hi, I've just managed to fill up the data RAM on my PIC16F628. Now, according to Microchip, almost all the higher end (i.e. gobs of data and program memory) chips belong to the 18F series. Sooo.. Does anyone know if there's a quick tutorial that explains what has changed and how to change 16F code to work on an 18F? Failing that, does anyone know if a "PIC18F from-the-ground-up"-type tutorial exists? Now to the question that's probably going to get me severely flamed: Can anyone suggest a PIC18F series chip to start with? Should I jump in at the deep end (so to speak) and buy one of the 40-pin PIC18Fs, or should I get one of the 18- or 28-pin PIC18F chips instead? BTW, has anyone tried the new release of the SDCC C compiler out on a PIC yet? Has anyone compared it against, say, Hi-Tech PICC/PICC18 or CCS C?
