The reason I chose the 30F2010 for the tutorial is because it is the only one I have worked with. That being said, I have no objections to studying the 30F4012 and possibly offering that on the site as well. Honestly, I am not an embedded engineer though I do have an EE and I have been working in the field of industrial controls and automation for many years. PICs started as a hobby for me and have evolved into the occasional niche solution to unusual problems on the job. The majority of my work with these micros is in hobby robotics. That is one reason I chose the 30F2010 to begin learning about the dsPIC. It is well suited for motor control and encoder interfacing. But I digress, I will get the datasheet for the 4012 and take a look see. Thanks for your input Olin. -- Regards, Stephen D.
