I generally leave a PIC16F877A in my programmer as although it is over kill for a number of applications it supports all 5 ports and supports everything else I have ever needed i.e I2C etc. I just plug in the relevant E-Blocks and load the relevant software and go.
Now I want to create a simple application that I plan to build and run separately from the programmer. It only needs one data port ( in fact only one line ). I want to build with the minimum of hardware. I remember coming across applications that use a PIC's with an inbuilt clock, thus avoiding an external crystal or RC network, but cannot remember which PIC it would be.
That is I would like to reduce my project to PIC, Voltage regulator chip, InfraRed diode.
Anybody able to refresh my memory.
Thanks Keith

The Microchip website has a good parametric search function that will allow you to select the appropriate features for your target chip:

Re: Which PIC
Hello
A 8 pin 12F series might be what you are looking for. I think that they all come with the internal oscillator as standard.

Re: Which PIC
On Checking PPP, of the 12 family, it only seems to support 12F629 and 12F675 both of which run at 4Mhz.
Does that mean if I want to use one of the other 12 Family members I am out of luck as far as programming it is concerned.

Re: Which PIC
I already had version 3.9.12.26 installed.
I forgot that switching to expert mode gave the option of more PIC's than without.
