-The package type. The PDIP package is absolutely recommented for DIY projects (only this type fits into the PIC socket of the [[http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_core.html|MBHP_CORE]]), so take a PIC18F452-I/P or PIC18LF452-I/P+The package type. (With integrated circuits, "package type" refers to //form factor.//)  The PDIP package is absolutely recommended for DIY projects, and is the only type that will fit into the PIC socket on the [[http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_core.html|Core]]), so use a PIC18F452-I/P or PIC18LF452-I/P.
