If you want to drive LED's with it, connect anode of LED to +5V and Catode to PIN, this will allow you to turn on the LED by putting LOG.0 on the output PIN.
The above is from the "sticky" FAQ about PIC in this forum, on how to drive LED using open collector pins.
Would I kill the chip if I do not use a current limiting resistor? Is it a common practice for PICs?
