using a 16f628 instead of a 16f630

[suraj]

Hi!

I have come across this great "POV" project:

http://www.ladyada.net/make/minipov/index.html

which uses a 630. Now I am in India and only have a 628.

how can I make the 628 work?

thanks

Read and understand the data sheets, port the code over (shouldn't be
very challenging), assemble it using MPLAB, redo the schematic for the
extra pins, and Bob's your uncle.

Well,

Can be done. I've done similar things before and it's not a big challenge.
You will need the source of the code, the datasheets of both micros, the
MPASM assembler, some programmer able to program your micro and some time to
learn how to use them. I expect you'll have to make only some minor changes
in the software but working with micros like these is real bitbyting you
know. Of course you will have to change the schematic according to the new
micro as the pin numbers do not match anymore.
