Yep, EasyPic3. Overall I love it. It has a few flukes, but your right, it's one of the best values around. They most likely sell that board for cost in order to get the name / compiler out there for folks to try.

Right now, I'm using a ZTT-20mhz with the built in caps, and the onboard caps are still there as well but so far it hasn't caused any issues.

While we're talking about it, I really like using the 3 pin ZTT's but I heard going with a crystal and seperate caps is much more reliable as far as wide temperature swings. I honestly figured the 1 package with the caps encapsulated would be better for less drift due to wide temp. swings.

Any experience here, which do you prefer?
