Clock Speed

[Del Tapparo]

I current use a PIC-AXE 08M chip (PIC12F629). Pic-Axe allows me to choose either 4MHZ or 8MHZ internal oscillator. It isn't obvious to me to see how to do this in PIC BASIC PRO. I don't want to use any external parts for the clock. Can I get 8 MHZ? Can I get higher than 8MHZ?

And another question; given a PIC-AXE 08M running at 8MHZ and a PIC12F629 programmed with PBP, which would be faster?

Your help would be appreciated. Still trying to figure out if PBP is the way to go for me.

as far as i'm aware, 12F629's OSC is fixed to 4 MHz, but 12F683 can be setup for 8MHz if you alter the OSCCON register.

No wonder I can't figure it out. The PIC-AXE 08M chip IS a PICF683! I've been looking at the wrong data sheet. Thank you.
