Thanks everyone. I find the pic very interesting, I'm starting to like it. I think I did go off the deep end on the price of the processor issue, I mean if I double the price I'm still at less than $2, that's not a lot of programming time! This isn't that cost sensitive of a project that a $5 processor would kill it. Time to look at the better and faster processors. I'm sure the 12F629 could be optimized to do it but it would be a real squeeze. The 12F683, does look a lot better and I could run it at 20 Mhz Hmmm, that would be a lot better to capture that 5k input frequency... BTW, Microchip does not list PWM capabilities for the 12F683, is the website wrong? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan-Erik Soderholm" To: Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 3:45 PM Subject: RE: [PIC] Am I crazy?
