Thanxs everyone !=20
The code was all fine as u all pointed out. Have the pic running
on the table here as i type this. And i have just wasted like 5 hours =
looking=20
for a non-excisting solution. hehe

God I just loove inet, and u guys for the fantastic support in a moment =
of=20
despare :-)

This is a 'simple' project to have the pic monitor and control the level =
of
products in a maschine so it doesnt get too full/empty.

5 LEDs will show the level 1-5, and 1 LED shows when actually filling up =
by=20
running a 380v AC motor. Also 3 inputs for operator switch manual =
control: off, on, auto
And 1 input for detecting status of another 380vAC motor connected to =
this.
Now.. this is done for dual systems in one pic so double all above.. =
hope i dont run
outa pins :-)

May do the overkill bit too: RS232 adjustment of parameters live when =
running the=20
mashine.. Or perhaps a bootloader for easy prg update ! nah, lets finish =
this=20
b4 xmas ;-)

That is the pin (36)  I now find is VERY sensitive to my scope probe.. =
when
thouched the pic crashes (same when touching the pin 1, MCLR)=20
No other pins seems sensitive. All pins on portb are connected to LEDs.=20
May be a problem in this noisy enviroment.

ok, I better look into that

yes, good point. thats step #2 when this test show I can get the pic =
alive :-)

Seem to rem something simular from 16c55 a few years back, now=20
that u remind me.

>         #include "p16f877.inc"
yes, i know. removed that just to make sure it wasnt part of the problem
good tip tho.
