I've built a 3x3x3 LED cube like the one at this Instructable, but with a PIC15F84A-04/P as the controller.

For the oscillator on this project I'm using a 5K resistor to +5V with no capacitor. I'm wondering what frequency that is actually giving me?

All the calculations I've found don't appear to be right and I don't have a scope to check with.

So can anyone tell me what frequency a 5K pull up to 5V is giving me? Thanks for any help.

The section in the 16F628 datasheet on the ER oscillator setting might be slightly relevant, but that is a mode designed for it and the resistor is to ground.
I guess the way would be to put a large delay in, time how long it takes and calculate from there. I'm not sure if this method is recommended or stable.
