How can I establish what RAM I need...and therefore which PIC.
I'm generally bemused wrt establishing what 'spec' PIC I need for my PICBAsic program. I guess this is becuase I've not really had to worry about it - I write a simple program, I then flash the PIC - it works.
I'm using a 16f690, for no other reason than it came bundled with my Pickit2 programmer ('lethargy rules ok')....I'm now in a position where I'd like to knock up a few 'widgets', which will need a PIC....I see there are other lesser PICs that have the same functionality as the 16f690, but with less RAM. (PIC16F631/677/685/687/689)
How can I establish what spec PIC I need (from a RAM perspective), for my modest program? (becuase saving some dosh on buying the PIC I can 'just' get away with is always welcome).
Is there some way of establishing that the codespace/RAM for a given picbasic program/pic is say xx% utilized etc?
