Looks like the microchip famine is passing, I just got a big shipment of 08M2 chips, albeit they are labeled 12F1840, I have to be careful not to confuse them with my small cache of non picaxe types. My experimentation with basic compilers is winding down, way too buggy and documentation is poor compared with what I got used to with picaxe. I'll use up the chips i have on hand as helper chips to picaxe.

During the shortage of PIC chips I ordered a very odd chip based on the fact it's 8 pin and was available for shipment instead of a year wait. It's a 12HV752 and it's an odd duck. HV stands for high voltage, chip has a built in shunt regulator, all that's needed to power it is a resistor at Vcc. The chip seems to be meant for driving LEDs or thyristors. It's also odd because it can supply 50 ma of current and all sort of specialized driving that I don't fully understand.
here is the link to the data sheet.
I have had very little luck programming the chip, can't even get it to flash an led, I can turn on the led but that's as far as I got with the basic compiler. I'll give it a try with MPLAB IDE once I remember how to use it.
Anyone tried the HV series? It might only be an odd chip to me and everyone else on the forum has always been aware of it.
Thanks, I realize this is off topic and fully understand if it's removed.
