Multiple PIC's with 1 crystal

[puma]

Thanks melanie for the explanation. It help me verry much. If have some projects in my mind where I could use this knowhow. For example:
If have a master PIC wich sends datastream to several slave PIC's (8 or so) they filter and use the data to do something with it. When they share/use the same oscillator stream I could get the slave PIC's to do there task at exactly the same time (when al other slave PIC are ready to)

Again thanks.

Melanie,

I would like to share the crystal of a 16f876 with a 12f675. By your description, I tie osc2 from the 876 to osc1 of the 675. What about osc2 of the 675. Do I leave it hanging or tie it to something?


Thank you,

Ross
