PIC OSCILLATOR EXAMPLES PLEASE

I know this is probably the basic of the basics but I think this would help out more than just myself. Ive attached a simple flashing led flowcode. Can someone please edit the oscillator for RC, XTAL and internal AND post a schematic of the connections required to get it to work in all configurations? I basically want to see what the settings for each look like for this flowcode file and exactly how they are connected on a PCB...that way when I etch a board out I'm not disappointed when they don't work. THANKS!!

Hello

If you look in the PICmicro device datasheet then you will find the explaination of the oscillator settings and also the associated circuitry. In the 16F88 datasheet this is labelled as Section 4 - Oscillator Configurations and starts at page 37.

When using the internal oscillator you do not need to connect any thing to the OSC pins.
