I did finally figure out how to fix the problem. All I had to do once I und= erstood what the configuration line was doing was to add to that line=20 & _LVP_OFF ; this disables LVT and enables I/O for RB3 only took me a full day to finally figure this out. Now it counts up and up= and up hey kind of like the roller coaster before the fall . LOL Now I can try to understand the nuances of the code that everyone helped me= get working. But all the playing and reading I did to figure this out I= think it was a good day :-) -----Original Message----- From: Jinx To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 14:29:17 +1300 Subject: Re: [PIC:] Newbie trying to assemble using MPASM for 16f876 > Thanks again for your continued effort in helping me On the roller-coaster that is learning PICs we can all manage the clack-clack-clack part on our own. It's the downhill-upside- down-inside-out bit when we need someone to tells us it's OK to scream ;-) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
