Best…

Listen dude …

i know (almost) nothing about electronics, not to speak bout microchips !!!

so i understand i need the “Pic16F877-20/P”, right ???

what is “20mhz crystal (parallel cut)” ???

and why not a “Pic16F877A” , isnt this an upgrade ???

a full answer would be nice, tnx

well…dude

With the current firmware the one u want is the Pic16F877-20/P, as stated - tho i think some of the other /# varitions might work…

The crystal is just another component thats needed…

The newer PIC18F452-I/P will be used for the forthcoming version of the MBHP - which is gonna be very nice…

thank ya

i asked a few questions about the pics and got answers. the 877 and 877a are both good to use,

the others are prolly just different package and would prolly need a PCB re-layout…

also, if ur in northamerica, u can order samples by saying ur a student(which i am) and get them for free and i got the bankstick chip too (24aa256)
