for my PIC development board to come in as I want to see if the code

that

appears to work in the simulation does work when burnt to the chip.

Ed,
While I'm not an experienced PIC programmer, I do have about 25 years

experience

as a software designer in a variety of programming environments,

including

assembly and Unix kernel, and if you'll forgive the heaping helping of

immodesty,

I'm pretty darn good.  Let me know if/how you want my help.

Thanks Russell, I appreciate the offer.  I am writting the code for a PIC
Microchip 18F252 (but it should run on any of the 18XX chips) chip.  I am
writting it in assembly because I don't think Basic would do the job and I
find Assembly easier to follow than "C".  If you could send me your e mail
address, we can decided how best to approach this animal without cluttering
up Paul's list.

Paul claims your only 35 so that makes you just a little over half my age,
so its an old dog trying to learn new tricks, you'll be dealing with {:>).
I have a number of fragments written dealing with the major functions to
prove to myself that its feasible, but I now need to complete some code for
the A/D converter module so I can read an O2 sensor for Air/Fuel mixture
ratio indication.  The rest of the code I'll explain in detail off the list.

My e mail is eanderson@carolina.rr.com

Look forward to hearing from you
