Newbie Question 16F88 & EXT resonator parts

Post by Ron »

Hi,

I am placing my order for Flowcode Pro in a couple of hours. I want to order some PICs.

I see there is support for 16F88. Does this include 16F882, 16F883, 16F884, 16F886 & 16F887?

If yes,

Could someone please provide me with a Digikey.com/mouser.com part numbers for the external ceramic resonator & CAPS (if necessary) I will need.



Thanks.......

Ron

Hello

Flowcode supports all of the following PICmicros:

16F88
16F883
16F884
16F886
16F887

However if you are planning to use our programming hardware (EB006, HP488) then only the 16F88 is supported at the current time.

For a ceramic resonator you will not need caps as the caps are integrated into the resonator - Digikey 490-1215-ND.

If you use a crystal then you will need 2 caps in the range of 22pF.

Refer to the PICmicro datasheet for Oscillator speeds and hardware configurations.

Our EB006 / HP488 programmers do support the 16F883 - 887 chips, but you will need a special update of the PPP software from me.

With a 16F88, a resonator is not necessary.

In Flowcode,

1-
for a frequency of 4MHz
you can use a "C code" and put in it :
osccon = 0x60;
(See page 40 of 16f88 datasheet)

2-
Configure PPP with oscillator : internal
(menu : chip /configure)

Can i get an update of PPP,
I've bought 16F886 and i want to try it on HP488.
Thanks
