-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Chris, Well, looks like you got everything you need there.. A good entry level PIC to try would be the 16F88 or even the 16F628.. Do not bother with the 16F84 as these other chips are much better, and most code is compatible.. You do not need crystals/caps with these chips are they're equipped with internal oscillators.. You just need to configure it when you program your chip.. Anything else you need would depend on your application.. On Wednesday 01 September 2004 08:10, Chris Bond wrote: > Hi.
