How do I detect revision of a particular PIC microcontroller?


I have a PIC18F4680. After reading the datasheet, it's still no clear to me how can I determine which revision the chip is.


So how do I determine the revision of the microcontroller other than asking the supplier to provide that information to me?



Answers relevant to other PIC series are welcome too.



Answer



It seems I managed to find the answer to my question.


In the PICkit 2 installation directory, there should be file named PICkit2.ini. This line: REVS: needs to be added to it in order to display the revision of the connected chip. The revision will appear to the right of the checksum value. This feature needs software version 2.10 or later.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
