Hi ,
I am a newbie to the microcontroller. I just have a few questions concerning PIC16F877.
1. I am just not too sure about the relationship between the oscillating crystal and the internal clock of the pic. If we look at this picture here, it shows that a 32.768 kHz crystal is connected to the microcontroller. But does that means the microcontroller is also run at only 32.768 kHz?
**broken link removed**
2. I came across some sample code for pic16f84 online, which I would like to use part of it for my own program for pic16f877. I am just wondering that is the instruction set for pic16f84 compatible with that of pic16f877?
Thanks a lot for the help,
