Just a few questions: 1) I need a 40-pin chip, so how do I choose which one? Should I go for a 16F or an 18F? Is the 16F877 much use? 2) I need a in-circuit debugger. Is there any debugger out there which will allow me to use my laptop to actually single-step through the microcontroller's instructions and to check the values in memory along the way? If so please give me its name! -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
