Numbers and Letters After PIC Number

[kiwipiper]

Thanks very much for the advice it was very useful to me. I have ordered a few 18F4620's to get me started as the place I get this stuff from in New Zealand has those available. It doesn't seem to stock the 18F4555 which I might try and get as well as I am particularity interested in communicating directly with a computer. However, I have heard USB can be a bit tricky to start with.

And if you need any help getting the example you found on our site converted over to your
18F part, just give me a shout....;o}

I'll walk you through the whole process.

Kiwipiper,
Welcom to the Forum and the wonderful world of PICs and Pic Basic Pro.

I think Jumper might have mis-typed the USB part number. Look for 18F4550.

This exemplifies the best part of this forum. Many gracious and helpful people, who are also very skilled and knowledgable.

Also, be careful, this can be additicive. Although better than most addictions, it can result in lack of sleep, strange (or other) looks from loved ones and friends, and in the worst of cases, negligence in more important life issues. Enjoy in moderation!

p.s. There is also a 18F4455, identical to the 18F4550, except for less memory.

Of course it was a typo, or actually it was a matter of not really bothering to read what it said on the chip on my table properly.. and I can't even blame it on beer this time.
