    @Julian Ilett Hi, Can the frequencies of the Si5351 clock generator be measured with this circuit? I just want to measure between 10Hz-20Khz.

    It will be the maximum full-fledged device only after adding an amplifier with a signal conditioner on the Schmitt trigger to it.
    If you need a kit with a PCB (26x9mm) and SMD parts for such an amplifier, contact msn-pro@@t
    Amplifier kit cost = 3 USD + shipping

    I would have done the crystal, chip socket, and 3-pin connector after the resistors and before the capacitors…

    Did anybody have the soft-firmware of the PIC ? I erased it!!!!! Is it possibile to read out, copy and burn in the PIC together? I killed, erased the software with the programmer G540.
    Many thanks

    Poof works for me. You are a genius. Helps me with "Pico" vs "Nano".

    I remembered cathode because it sounds like 'catheter' and those are always a negative experience .
