13V is only for programming for general opperation it should be tied high (5v/vcc) then pull to low to reset the PIC (might want to check that i always get it mixed up lol) its /Mclr so make your own mind up lol -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Robert B.

I was under the impression that it needed about 13v on it to affect anything, though... is this not true? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Pergola" To: Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 9:42 PM Subject: Re: [PIC:] Odd behavior > Robert B wrote: > > > I've been getting some really strange behavior out of a 16F873A. > > Hi Robert, > > Regarding the /MCLR pin, what does your PIC's reset circuit look like? > Is it floating by chance? > > Best regards, > > Ken Pergola > > -- > http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
