Gentlemen: I've put together 68k embedded systems using my employer's ICE equipment, but what is the minimum amount of electronics necessary to setup the p18f4431 utilizing Microchip's ICD2 equipment? Once operating I'll explore PWM, LCDs, A/D interfacing and all that on my own, but I'm needing a push or hint at this moment. Current setup isn't quite enough. Thanks in advance. 2Penny

A single cristal is all you need (not even that if timing isn't important, there's an internal rc clock as well). Mat Nieuwenhoven

Mr Nieuwenhoven: Thank you for the input, but I was looking forward to using the p18f4431. I even bought a couple of the units so I could get rolling ASAP. Ultimately it has to do with driving a 3 phase motor at various speeds and loads. The p18f4431 is supposed to be specifically tailored to this kind of application. Again, thanks, but could you direct me to where I can find this minimum hardware arrangement? Would this location include the p18f4431's linker and include files? 2Penny Mat Nieuwenhoven wrote:> On Tue, 07 Jun 2005 13:19:19 GMT, 2Penny wrote: > > >>Gentlemen: >> >>I've put together 68k embedded systems using my employer's ICE >>equipment, but what is the minimum amount of electronics >>necessary to setup the p18f4431 utilizing Microchip's >>ICD2 equipment?

All of the relevant linker and include files are in MPLAB. MPASM, the macro assembler that comes with MPLAB supports all current PIC parts, including the PIC18F4431. You've got all the tools you need for development. Download from the Microchip web site, or check the CDROM that came with your MPLAB ICD 2 to see what's supported with that version. The latest version of MPLAB is v7.11. (The current Microchip web site is undergoing some construction so may not be available until tomorrow). dj "2Penny" <lw_rogers@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:FWrpe.25637$J12.11677@newssvr14.news.prodigy.com...> Mr Nieuwenhoven: > > Thank you for the input, but I was looking forward to using the > p18f4431.
