Sorry. Yes I am using an external on that chip. What I am doing is building a self-acquiring satellite system for data. (HughesNet) It will have a MC in the dish itself where all the "important thinking" will be happening. And then there will be a wireless handheld device connected via HC-05's. This will also allow for a cell phone app to control it via a customized BTserial-type app.

I just got the handheld to start (sorta) working now (minus the blown LCD I'm now waiting for)
I got the HC-05's linked

I just blew the last 688 I had for the embedded half. I switched out to a PICAXE14M2 I had laying around. (BTW this is the chip that got me over to PIC from Arduino) Since I now have a picKIT3, I wiped the bootloader and am using it as a 1825. This board is soldered already, and I used the pins for the CLK for something else. The internal clk would be fine but now a 10000 pause is 80 seconds. I cannot go down past OSC 4, and this is still 8 times to slow. How do I rectify this?



Is it really hijacking if it was your own thread?? ;-)
