RIght 9 Weeks on, just wanted to say thanks for the suggestion, it got me started on my project. Which has now had to be signed off on even though not fully complete :-( But at least I feel confident PIC programming now, after having to set up a I2C bus, and a USART, and interrupts, relocatable code etc. Although still a little stuck on that last one, memory maps have me a bit stumped I did use MBLAB extensively at home, I thought its main benefit was the simulator, it was useful to measure time critical things with the stopwatch. And to be able to watch the values of registers through the program execution. Though it became useless when trying to debug I2C code. Thanks again.

Hi, I need to do some programming on the pic18f452, at my University laboratory. However the comptuer at my lab bench will only run Windows 95. MPLAB version 7 will only only install Windows 98SE or higher I guess I could install an earlier version but there is no guarantee it will support the pic18f452. Any suggestions? I guess I could live without an IDE and resort to a texteditor and the commandline, but are there any other options?

Hi, I'm pretty this stuff, thus I'm wondering if it matters what the rated voltage is of the capacitors I choose as long as the capacitance is correct? I am reading the parts for the SID from this link, http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_sid_orderlist.txt For example the for the SID module it says I need a "Polarised Capacitor 1 uF/16V" if I get one that is rated to 1uF/100V thats fine right? Also by polarised I presume a radial electroylic will do fine? Another thing, does anyone know where I can get the Stryroflex Cap 470 pF (2.5% tolerance) and Ceramic Cap 330 nF in the UK.? I really wan't to get all my parts from maplins but I can't see those two, can anyone show me alternatives, at maplins prefferably. But failing that anywhere in the UK Thanks in advance
