Ski,

I see. Make very good sense. Thanks.

Ski,

I might have pulled the PIC while the power is on. Also, I might have pulled a wire while powered on. I am using a breadboard wire that I like because they are more flexible and...

JohnS,
I bought this regulated variable PS. They go by 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 9v, 12v.
No +5v! I like it because it's so portable than those high Amp PS. So I was playing with the PIC with 4.5v...

Hey, folks. No progress today... Hehehe... I actually mean I slacked off. I could not find my other 627A. Use of magnifier did not helped. I would try the 84A but have to use OSC chip or I...

Joes & Ski,
Thank you for the help.

JoeS,
Using an Ohmeter, which pins do I tap, what to expect and why? I would also do the Ohmeter test on a new chip alongside with this chip in...

Dear Ski,

Hahaha... Blinking the LED is the first project in the book and I thought it's so simple so I read all the projects but did not tried any of the LEDs .... skipped all the project all...

Ski,

Hmm. I am not yet familiar with the OSC parameter settings.
I did the LED test without any of the additional DEFINE and @ statements beside the ones that I posted.
I waited 5-10...

ski,

I like your 'heartbeat' practice. I would adapt it as my practice too.

JoeS,

Your posts noted and changes made. I am pondering why my chip is not working. If the chip is damaged, won't the programmer verify step resulted in an error? What's next after LED test...

Ski,
I am still using the same chip PIC16F627A.
I failed the LED test. I hook up an LED to the Ground then in series to 330 ohm Resistor and a cable at the end. I tap the cable to +5V...

Hi, skimask.

Thank you for the reply.

I added PAUSE 2000 before CMCON=7 statement.

On my 20x4, I still get 20 blocks on lines 1 & 3.. and rest are blanks.

Hello, everyone.

I am new to this forum. I am so happy to see so many people helping out others. I wish I could be of help myself in the future.

I have been tracking problems in HD44780. I...
