PORTB is 0V, even though the (MCLR-compatible) button on pin 1 of the PIC is pulling it up. include "p18f2320.inc" __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _IESO_OFF_1H & _INTIO2_OSC_1H __CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _BOR_OFF_2L & _BORV_45_2L & _PWRT_ON_2L __CONFIG _CONFIG2H, _WDT_OFF_2H & _WDTPS_128_2H __CONFIG _CONFIG3H, _CCP2MX_ON_3H & _MCLRE_OFF_3H __CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _STVR_ON_4L & _LVP_OFF_4L & _DEBUG_OFF_4L __CONFIG _CONFIG5L, _CP0_OFF_5L & _CP1_OFF_5L & _CP2_OFF_5L & _CP3_OFF_5L __CONFIG _CONFIG5H, _CPB_OFF_5H & _CPD_OFF_5H __CONFIG _CONFIG6L, _WRT0_OFF_6L & _WRT1_OFF_6L & _WRT2_OFF_6L & _WRT3_OFF_6L __CONFIG _CONFIG6H, _WRTC_OFF_6H & _WRTB_OFF_6H & _WRTD_OFF_6H __CONFIG _CONFIG7L, _EBTR0_OFF_7L & _EBTR1_OFF_7L & _EBTR2_OFF_7L & _EBTR3_OFF_7L __CONFIG _CONFIG7H, _EBTRB_OFF_7H org 0x0 bra main org 0x8 retfie FAST main: movlw b'01100010' ; RUN, 4MHz, intrc movwf OSCCON bcf TRISB, 3 test: movf PORTE, W movwf PORTB bra test end -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
