Thanks for that just what I needed
No special pins needed, it's all going to be normal i/o pins
Basically a fancy switch with temp sensing to control the switching
I've decided to allow for any possibilities I may have in the future and use a 16f887 44 pin Probably qfn 44 package
I know I'm going to have problems soldering onto this, but I'll figure it out
One question though as I cant figure this out (yet) I've got a pickit 2 programmer somewhere in the place, and will probably use that and I'll put a header on the board so it literally plugs in
I've got so far the MCLR pin 18 goes to +5v via a resistor around 20k
Vss and Vdd pins are obvious
its the actual programming pins I'm uncertain of
I was going to use
pins 16 RB6 ICSPCLK
& Pin 17 RB7 ICSPDAT
Then I noticed pin 12 RB3 is PGM - will this be a problem, or what does it do? or can I ignore this if I'm using pin 12 as an I/O pin
There will be an lcd connected to pins RB0 - RB5
Sorry for such basic and what probably sounds stupid questions, I've read the datasheet but it's just going through my head, not going into it.
