It depends on what you want to do, but using your own xtal directly is problematic due to the long transmission lines on that board. What I would suggest is using the board's clock circuitry. Here's how I have it set up: xtal jump on. OSC jumper on the left two pins (if you can r

Normally, you would do this just leaving the pin as an output. Put a resistor between the transistor base and the port pin to reduce the base current. A 1K ought to work in your situation. But, for your further questions, there is no limit to the number of time you can change a p
