I'm a carer, I know a thing or two about remembering.....How about remembering something?
Yes still with the 16F684, do I need a more suitable chip?Are you still using a 16F684 ?
Just an aside here, I was looking at in the RS catalogue the other day, they have a PICKit2 for a good price. Is this the next one up for me? Or should I stick with the PICkit1 for now?

The 16F684 is fine for now. It all depends on what you need to do. More I/Os, memory, built in hardware? But for learning the small ones are good.
I am a big fan of the PicKit2 so if you can get one at a good price do so. But for now the PicKit1 is fine for the parts you are using. It is just very limited parts wise.
What do you have in mind to do with all of this? Home automation/monitoring?
There is so much that can be done with the "small" parts and they can be made to share information they may be all you need.

You know I really don't have a direct answer to that one. I've got a couple of small projects in the offing (I'll tell you about them later) and some ideas.The thing is, it's almost unlimited in what you can do! For me right now, it's about building a sound knowledge base, plus it's really absorbing, fascinating, I love it.What do you have in mind to do with all of this? Home automation/monitoring?

Hi mackrackit,
I've been busy working on the last assignment....
Quick question. Would the code (below) output the value of B_P onto my LCD? B_P is a VAR WORD. I've used DEC1 as I only want to test the output with a couple of button presses (if that makes sense).
DaveCode:LCDOUT $FE,1 LCDOUT $FE,DEC1 B_P

Well... what did you get on your display?
Code:B_P = 12345 LCDOUT $FE,$C0,DEC1 B_P 'Displays 5 LCDOUT $FE,$C0,DEC2 B_P 'Displays 45 LCDOUT $FE,$C0,DEC3 B_P 'Displays 345 LCDOUT $FE,$C0,DEC4 B_P 'Displays 2345 LCDOUT $FE,$C0,DEC5 B_P 'Displays 12345 LCDOUT $FE,$C0,DEC B_P 'Displays 12345

Hi mackrackit,
Really sorry for the late reply, has been one of those days today.
I've got a couple of small problems with LCD / Counting at the moment, nothing I shouldn't be able to fix by now so please bear with me. If I can't get it going soon I'll have to ask.
