External osc defines

If you would just please take the time to read this thread http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=543 you should get what's happening. If not then let me know.

Hi Bruce,

yeeeees I understood and read the whole thread and you were right: there it all stood.

The most "difficult" part of it was to find out in WHICH of those .INC files the config fuses had to be changed.
there were at least three of them and 2 were in the PBPDEMO folder and those were the ones but I dunno which of those two. commented the configs in both.

After that my BLINKBILLIG20MHz blinked way too fast and the "DEFINE osc 20" programming and compiling worked not for the first 4 times although I erased the PIC complete before programming.

Now it does. And reacts on changing the osc frequency.

thanks a bundle.

I guess your nerves get friggled up with guys like me asking the "obvious" for the 20th time, huh?

next try will be 3 pics with one canned 20Mhz oscillator.....

Not at all. I enjoy answering questions here because I will almost always learn something in the process, and I enjoy learning. A nice by-product of this is that I get to help someone else in the process of learning new things myself.

I just see no point in re-typing an answer to a question that has already been thoroughly covered in another thread.

If someone has taken the time to read information in a thread I linked to, the data sheet, manual, etc, and they still have a question about some part of it they aren't 100% clear on, then I'm more than happy to attempt to elaborate.
