Hi, I was wondering if anyone could provide some oscillator guidance.  I am
trying to run a 16f690 off a 20 mgherz ceramic resonator with built in
capacitors.

I think i have all my my programming correct, but when I go to turn it on,
it does not work.  The oscillator does not start up.  However, if I try to
measure the voltage with my multimeter and touch the Clock input pin, the
PIC starts to work.  There is about 2.3V on the clock output and input pin
.

Right now i have a 1 mega Ohm resistor across the input and output leads of
the resonator like the datasheet said for it to have. I am running the
resonator in HS mode.

My guess is that my programming is correct but there is not enough drive to
get the oscillator going.  Unfortunately, I have no idea about how to fix
the problem.  This is my first oscillator circuit which I am using for a
school project.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Adam Stambler
