Apologies I simply forgot about this post. The answer covers everything regarding internal oscillator setup and even a little about external oscillator configs. I can't accept it as a solution, however, because of the above close request. I would like to accept with a grade of &quot;A&quot; as it was complete, accurate, and easy to follow. Thank you.

I am confused about how to set the internal oscillator for the PIC 18F4431. I would like to use the chip's internal oscillator and run it at its fastest speed but I am not sure how to do this. The OSC configuration bits and the OSCCON register are not clear to me. I am not sure what OSC = HS implies. Also, according to the datasheet, the fastest speed that OSCCON can be set to is 8 MHz but I read that the 18F4431 can run at 40 MHz. Please help! Thank you!

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
