Which PIC should i use? Click to expand... Any PIC would do, if you require small size an 8 pin one would easily do the job - or any of the standard 18 pin ones, like the 16F628. My tutorials contain all the code you need to perform this task.

If you have a bucket full of 16F84's sat around doing nothing?, fair enough - but you shouldn't be thinking of buying one!.
