In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, eagletalontim wrote: The circuit will be mounted inside a car running from a 12 to 14v 10 amp supply so I can only run off of 1 power source. i just tried what you said by taking the chip out of the programming board and putting it in my stand alone project board then running the wires from the programming board to power the chip. It did not work :( I tried the 10k resistor to the MCLR, tried putting another cap between Vdd and Vss, I even took the same resistor and LED off the programming board and put it on the project board. nothing worked :( I got my ohm meter and checked to ensure all 28 pins were getting a good connection and they were. I am stumped and I really want to get this project done before friday. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=243374#m243421 Need assistance?
