Hi folks,
I'm brand spakin' new to PICs, and I'm hoping for a little help.
Moreover, I'm new to the list, so apologies in advance if I offend.
First, the background: I'm using an Oricom Technologies Sbot28
controller board, with a PIC16F873 chip. I'm writing code in C, compiled
with a free demo of PICC, and developed in MPLAB development
environment. I'm programming the chip with a Microchip PICStart
Programmer.

The problem? No matter what I do or try, I just can't seem to get any
output from my PIC. After days of work and frustration, I though I'd
just give in and ask. Included below is a quick test program I wrote
just to see if I understood what I'm doing (apparently not):

If anyone has any suggestions, tips, tricks, troubleshooting advice,
etc. I'd love to hear back.

Dan (a rank beginner)

#include <PIC1687X.H>   /*Included with PICC*/
#define OUTPUT 0
#define INPUT 1
#define WatchDogTimerClear() asm( "clrwdt")

void main()
{
        ADCON1 = 0x07;          /*switch ports to digital I/O*/
        TRISC1 = OUTPUT;

        RC1 = 1;                        /*PortC, RC1, Pin12 : output
high*/

        while(1)
        {
                WatchDogTimerClear(); /*Clear the Watchdog Timer*/
        }/*end while*/
}/*end main()*/
