I don't see how. I mean no disrespect and not to be argumentative, but it is a frustration to me that there is this gray area in many procedures where PBP does some of the setup and leaves other parts to be done by the user. After some time I am catching on to the pattern and learning where to look when things don't work as expected, but ... from a beginner's standpoint... I could wish the manual was more clear in some respects on this. That said, I really enjoy using PBP and the process of learning it is enjoyable to me. Between reading carefully, scratching my head, and the outstanding help in these forums it is getting easier. After not too long it seems I might actually be able to create the things I envision! I hope you find this to be the case as well... and welcome to the forums!

Not argumentative at all.

I should have know that because I have considerable experience with another PIC based BASIC system where you can peek / poke the OSCON register to change the internal RC oscillator frequency. And , I did not read the PBP manual very thoroughly before starting.

I do agree that the manual leaves a bit to be desired from a beginners standpoint. Aside from being unclear in places, I find some of the examples inadequate or irrelevant and not very "real word". But such is the case with a lot of products. Most of the effort goes into the software & marketing, while manuals / datasheets are an afterthought or a necessary inconvenience given a back seat . Good tech writing seems to be becoming a lost art.

I have found that looking at others well commented code is a really good way to learn.
