Hi Guys, Me bad. Jinx and others I apologize. Please disregard my previous ravings. They were based on bad assumptions about what I was observing. I had an LED connected to GP1 as described, and it was flickering, I took this to mean that TMR0 was activating the interrupt, even though I had its T0IE cleared. A quick calculation showed me that even with the full prescaler divide by (256) the LED would still be flashing at 1000s of Hz. This would of course look like a solid on, and not a flicker. I was able to get a scope on GP1 and there is no sign of any signal in the 1000s of Hz range. Now to track down the real cause of the flickering after getting some sleep. Thanks again for all your time, Heinz -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
