In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, bean wrote: Rodney, 1) I suspect the clock from the SX-Key is not stable right away. As you say, is works fine after reset. 2) "MyOut PIN RA.1 OUTPUT" will make RA.1 an output when the code starts. But "TRIS_A = %11111111" will make ALL pin on RA INPUTS not outputs. 3) "OT" serial mode is "OPEN-TRUE" in this mode the serial pin is only driven LOW or is an INPUT. You need to put a pull-up resistor on the pin to make it work properly. This mode is meant to be used in a bus configuration where more than 2 devices are communicating on the same wire.
