And, honestly is using an 8pin PIC, look at devices like the 12F1840. Far easier to use, with lots of peripherals making code smaller and more efficient, and with lots more RAM and ROM. EEPROM, UART etc.. It is only worth using a device like the 10F, if you are intending to sell a million devices and need to save every single cent

Hi Temtronic
The reason for using the 10F is that it has quite sufficient memory for the very few lines of code needed. I don't need anything bigger! It is sampling a radio control square wave and toggling an output when the pulsewidth falls below a predetermined value. Why on earth would I want to use a big chip? It is to go into a model aircraft, where low weight and small size are important.

Why do you think that Microchip produce chips of all sizes? Answer, you choose that which is appropriate to your needs.

In the 12F675, the code is using 9% of RAM and 7% of ROM! Need I say more!!

Hey Brian

OK, you're in the minority here.. actually PICking the proper PIC for the application and I suppose you really don't have a client that wants 2 more LEDs, an encoder instead of a pot, a ...... sigh.
I wish all my, no, if ONE of my projects could remain 'small'.
