Hi, I'm new to both PIC's and this list and I could use a little assistance. I have my very first PIC16C62A sitting on my bench all wired up and programmed with very simple code to toggle port B on and off (loaded with PIC Start +). I'm using an external oscillator (square wave from a function generator) for the clock in signal. When I power it up, every pin remains at ground except for pin 1(reset) which is tied high, and the clock out pin which looks like a low pass filtered version of the clock in signal from the function generator. Can anyone offer a rank novice, who has not worked with microcontrollers, a little assistance to get up and running? Thanks! Niles nlund@midcoast.com
