Hi Richard,

thanks a lot again for your reply. I'm trying to use a chip that i can program with pickit2 as i dont want to spend any money for the pickit 3.

I'm planning to purchase the PBP3.1 software, than spend for pickit3 hardware. Im happy with pickit 2, and a close supported device as far as i see is the pic18f26k20.

At the moment in stock i have the pic18f4550, pic16f1939. What is the feature of the pic we are looking for. The CPU SPEED (8bit or 16bit...), the SRAM, timers?
