Hi again, this is my second post in this list, let's see what horrendous crimes I'll be accused of this time (it's really amusing), by some well educated Lords. My code and configuration was ok, I finally tracked down the problem thanks to some luck. It was a false contact in the CLKI pin.. I had already tested it (I better make sure I say this before I get shot in my head by another wannabe Lord Olin Lathrop), but when I did so with the probe of my multimeter I inadvertely pressed the pin on the PCB, and that created contact.. so it looked ok. But it really wasn't. I re-soldered that pin (it's my first experience with SMD chips, so maybe would you wannabe Sir Olins refrain from killing my family and all my neighbours please?), and now everything works great. Before I close this post, I'd like to thank James Newton not only for being an excellent and fair moderator, but also for having good principles and following them. One of these is that convenience has never to be traded with civilty or justice. Some have suggested that because Sir Olin Lathrop has contributed technically in the past, he may be forgiven the purely criminal mass of insane insults he has covered me with, after I just joined the list with a very honest question (regardless all the malice some of you would try to depict in it). Well, by applying this very idea, a killer, a raper, any criminal may be left unpunished and free to continue his crimes just because maybe he has given advantages to the society somewhere else (maybe being rich and paying a lot of taxes). That is simply disgusting, and by allowing such things any community gets ruined at the end, very quickly I may add. Evidently, there are a lot of people with big, serious real life problems but a lot of free time available for useless flames on the Internet (despite their claims to not want to waste their precious time, but then writing a long post full of useless and gratuitous, totally stupid insults just to prove themselves wrong about how precious is their time). But there are also nice, helpful people that are willing to see things for what they really are, and help if they can, or otherwise remain civil and acceptably tolerant people. To them goes my best regards, and my will to help when I'll get a chance to. Please, please, please.. forgive me for the wasted bandwidth of the last 20 or so lines, but don't consider me responsible for the megabytes wasted by others with the excuse of my original, first post in my life in this list (after reading the FAQ, yes). I've re-read it many times, and found nothing wrong in it. A lot of criminal and totally bogus assumptions have been made about my skills, professional experiences, finalities, methodologies and so on. Those are really too boring to even waste my time reading those fantasies, let away replying. I'm new to those little, nice PIC processors, but I'm not about all the rest you may imagine. I just hope nobody ever hands a rifle (no particular reason given) to some people like Sir Olin Lathrop, that's the kind of event that for its consequences then has a secure place on TV news. Scary and sad, very sad how a human being can reduce himself. Now I understand why there're so many abuses, violence, wars et simila going on in this world.. Code and let code.
