According to my experience, yes. I've never had a problem due to a floating PIC input. (I don't have them that often, but it happens occasionally.) But people have said that simply because of a floating input a PIC just didn't work at all. So that's where the "arbitrary" part comes from :) Gerhard -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
