OK guys and gals.. I've got some 16f648A chips on the way, along with an EasyProg.. so the next step is finding some programs that I can try out so I can get used to using the PIC. The only thing I've found so far is a LED Blink program here: http://www.voti.nl/blink/index_1.html#16F627 It's for the 628, but if read things right in the emails this will work for the 648A also? Thanks a bunch all, I really appreciate the help! -Shay -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
