Dear reader.

I am setting the bits to drive a L293D using a 16F628A. Both other
Pins work (RA2 and RB4), so there are 12 Volts finally. But the
stepping motor wires being connected indirectly to RA4 and RA1 only
get ca. 0,5 volts.  I think this is a software problem.

According to the Data sheet, RA4/T0CKI/CMP2 is a "Bidirectional I/O
port", that means that it can supply and sense voltage levels. I read
that it can not source current, so a pullup should help:

Connecting RA4 to Vdd via 1,5k resistor and connecting RA4 to the
basis of an emitter follower to finally drive the L293D is an option.
What do you think about that

Regarding the software error, this is what I wrote.
