I promise, I'll behave. O;^)


>Very, very early in the PIC18 days I built up a project using a PIC18C252 that was very timing dependent. I was rather irritated that all my timing seemed to be off by about 10% (fast). After a lot of head scratching, probing and puzzling I finally noticed that the 10MHz crystal sold to me by Digikey was really something like 11.09MHz (it said so on the crystal, but the bag it came in said 10MHz). Except for the timing issues, the chip did seem to work perfectly, at least at room temperature with a 5V nominal power supply.

Thanks :)

You know, the best discovers in history have been made by mistake. ;)
