Yup, first thing I do is match all components on JLC's inventory for a given footprint and input price, JLC part # and Manufacturer part # in my symbol editor (Kicad), as well as if it's a Basic part...

It's almost Olympics time... so here's a topical program using PBP exclusively (no embedded Assembler) to give you a Stop-Watch with 1/100th Second Timing (yes that's 0.01 of a Second) and gives you REAL-TIME display on your LCD. Now you can do your own timing and challenge the official time...
The program demonstrates using TMR1 in BACKGROUND (multi-tasking), uses PICBasic Interrupts, and accounts for the fact that PICBasic doesn't respond to those Interrupts immediately. There's also a set-Up CALIBRATION menu item, so you can adjust and calibrate your timer to an accuracy of 360mS per Hour.
How does it do all that? Better download the PDF and find out...
