I just picked up a Pickit 2 with PIC16f690 demo board. It was very cheap as it was on sale. I am going to use it in hobbyist projects at home only. I am curious about the the ADC inside. How well do it perform in respect to noise an accuracy? I do not expect high end results as it is 10 bits only, and the refference is VDD on the demo board.
My first project is to interface to a PC using the UART. So i will find out soon

 

Ok so the ADC is not so good then it comes to "waveform" sampling?

 

What frequency is the waveform?

 

What frequency is the waveform?

It was more a hypothetical question. What I plan is to use a MAX232 and serial communication to a PC. As I run 8MHz clock I think I will get problems then using 57.6K (rs232 link speed). But 19.2K should work fine. And this will limit the sampling rate to 960Hz theoretically.
