Electronic – Documentation generator for embedded C projects

I am an experienced C# developer that wanted to get quickly up to speed on the PICs and found these tutorials to be very helpful:

The are kept up-to-date with recent MPLAB versions. A lot of them are free. I liked them enough that I paid for the full set. They are geared to his learning kit, but I used them with just a breadboard and a PicKit3.

Slew rate is how fast the signal changes from low to high, or vice versa. By limiting this abrupt transition, you can reduce ringing from signal reflections, and limit crosstalk between signal lines.

The way it works out, though, is that at 100kHz, the signal rates are so slow that the slew rate doesn't really matter; at 400kHz you may be able to fix an otherwise problematic circuit by limiting it; but then when you get to 1MHz you really need all the transition speed you can get, and so you just have to do good signal matching and route your lines more carefully.

The bit in question does nothing more than enable or disable the feature. The rest is simply advice. The speeds are in parentheses, as it is just a suggestion.
