Shay On our earlier thread, someone (sorry, I can't recall who) wrote a very good note on how to move F84 programs to a 628. The 648A is practically identical to the 628 except for more memory, so those comments also apply to the 648A. Of course, as I, and several others, mentioned, a lot of the F84 examples are truly horrible, so I would suggest leaving most of those examples behind as soon as you can blink an LED. Once you get your head around relocatable code, it then becomes pretty easy to collect algorithms (only) from many of those web examples, assemble them, and then put them in the parts drawer for more elaborate projects. If you look through the PIClist archives, as well as the beginner's forum at Microchip, you will find lots of good advice, especially from Olin. OK, maybe the guy carries kind of a big club, but he is absolutely right on. Look at what the '84 projects do, perhaps study an algorithm or two, and then do the app yourself using better techniques. Not only will you get good apps running more quickly, but you will be a lot more confident more quickly, too. --McD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shay" To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public."
