Here's a little bit of code I wrote to disable the Timer 1 oscillator on the 16F88: banksel T1CON ; Attempting to disable Timer 1 oscillator movlw b'00000100' movwf T1CON Does that code look like it'll work? This actualy relates to my stability problems earlier. I have found that pulling RB6 and RB7 low seemed to help the chip run. Noting on the datasheet that these pins are both related to the Timer 1 module, I was wondering if disabling it might help this condition. Or, are there better methods of handling this without adding external components? I would very much like it if I could leave the unused pins unconnected(I'm breadboarding this, and would end up buried in resistors:P ) -- Paul Anderson VE3HOP wackyvorlon@gmail.com http://www.oldschoolhacker.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
