I only had a PIC in a QFN package but wanted to make a protoype with it. What I did was strip a 24 gauge wire and solder each individual strand to each pin. I'm never doing that again but.....

It seems slower than what it should be. I want to determine if it's the hardware or software so I used this:
Code:
Start:
TOGGLE portd.1
PAUSEUS 1
GOTO start
I have a 20 MHz crystal and DEFINE OSC 48. When I measure the frequency, am I supposed to get 1MHz? I get about 374 KHz. One thing that may be causing this is, to stabilize the soldering, I put hot glue on all of the pins not realizing that it's probably putting a little resistance between the oscillator pins.

Any ideas?
