| + | ''FIX: The MCLR resistor should pull up the MCLR pin, and the MCLR pin should be connected straight to the ICSP header'' | ||
The MCLR resistor is 4.7K and the LED resistors will depend on your LEDs. Remember that there is a limit on the amount of current that the PIC can supply. I limited my 2V LEDs to 0.8mA by using 3.8K Resistors. The total current usage is 20mA when all the LEDs are on. Assuming the 9V battery has a 400mAh life then this will give me at least 20 hours. Realistically I should get 30+ hours. For timing I used a 10MHz crystal. | The MCLR resistor is 4.7K and the LED resistors will depend on your LEDs.
