As far as the 12v tho, this 16f1829 chip I'm using now has been a hoss so far. And it started life as a PICAXE20M2. So when I first flashed it, it was with a home-made serial cable with no MAX232 or anything. Just straight out the serial port to the chip, so I think some chips will handle it better than most think...
