Digital output (RA5) on 16f884

Help......

Hi Thank you for reading..... I am attempting to output 16 Leds on ports A and C using a 16F884

All is working ok but for RA5 (Pin7)..... I suspect I have not turned of an analogue function but what one..

Any help welcome..... all code is working fine but for this pin.... It just stays high all time !

See my headers below.

Thank you for reading

Andy

Hi All

Looked at this a little bit further..... I now believe it is RB5/AN13/T1G Causing me the issue.

Maybe the T1G Timer ??

How do I disable this and make the port just a DI

Many thanks

Andy

TRISB = 15

You're only setting RB0-RB3 as inputs

Andy, Make sure CM2CON1 is set to all zero's.

CM2CON1 = %00000000
This register defaults to T1GSS to T1G enabled at power on. I don't however believe that is the problem.

Thanks both for help..... Missing the obvious, for some reason I copied and pasted previous code, but left TRISB as 15.

Changed to 255 and all works now......:biggrin:

Thank you again

You have porta set to output try with resistor 4K7 between RA5 and VCC.

Just a tip for visual people like me:

- use individual bits for fuses, it's much easier to determine which bit is ON or OFF.

For example:
TRISB=%00001111
versus
TRISB=$0F
versus
TRISB=15

Very good advice.... My problem is disciplining myself to carry it out.

Maybe I need slow down a bit :-)
