Thanks - armed with the gave me and the datasheets I should *hopefully* start getting thing done :)

Subject: [piclist] Re: How close are 16F84 and the 16F88 in terms of code?

Pretty close for programming. There are some differences - The general purpose registers start at a different point, eeprom regs are in a different bank, configuration word is a little different. For a given feature, the programming should be the same - like the timer0, for example. I suggest you get both datasheets and have them handy while doing the tutorials. Be carefull of any absolute addresses used. The F88 has a lot more periferals - ADC, Serial I/O, comparators, ... I think the power up defaults will be ok for treating it like an F84. I dont recall having to do anything special to blink an LED (PIC equiv of "hello world").

Ok I a newbie and most tutorials on starting use the 16F84. I only have 16F88's at hand. Will the code required be hugely different or will the basics be similar?

BTW anyone got really good links for starting out?

Thanks,
