Thanks Henrik for your support and encouraging.
Switching to the latest software and hardware is one of my next priorities.
I was going to order a PICKit3 just to get familiar with it until I will cross the bridge. Your sample code will be my first try.

MeLabs use to have a really helpful PIC selection system. What happened to it? I wasn’t aware that Microchip has the product selection tool. I will use it from now on.

I’m sure that other members of the forum will be interested in some of the aspects of my project and I pledge to keep everyone posted with my progress. It’s time to order some parts and start testing.

Regards,

Nick
