I hope I’m posting this to the right thread…
As soon as my parts arrive I want to build a project based on a PIC, now at this point I should mention I’ve never tinkered with PIC’s before so I know nothing about them…
Ok my question is this… the circuit I want to build calls on a 13MHz Crystal the PIC in the circuit is a 16F870, which according to it’s datasheet can run up to 20MHz (correct me if you know I’m wrong) Anyway I was just wondering seeing I can’t find a 13MHz Crystal but I can find a 10 or 20MHz one could I replace the called for Crystal with one of the two I can get and if I do so, will that mean I have to change the code I’m meant to load onto the PIC (and is changing the code like what I’m asking even possible?)
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you in advance…
Dawn.
