Clock speed

For low power operation on a 16F876 I need a clock speed of about 32 kHz (watch crystal). There does not seem to be any setting in Flowcode below 1MHz no matter whether the clock type is XT, RC etc. How can I set 32 kHz?

Hello

If you use the Chip menu and assign XT mode and also set the clock speed to 32000 then this should all compile and run ok.

I beg to differ. Whatever mode is set, including XT, the range of frequencies is only 1 - 20 MHz. Is this a limitation of Flowcode student version?

You should be able to type anything into the box for clock speed. The list in that drop-down menu is just for typical values.

Ah, you are right!
