problem with i/o pic16F876

[mikmac]

HI,
I'm in troubles here. I have programmed an pic16F876 to blink an LED.
I tried many ways to do it but the LED just blink a few times.
I don't know why. I tried to do this with proteus and just work fine but
in practice it didn't work.

In same way, I tried with pic16F627 and it worked fine, I don't understand
the difference for the two devices. Maybe in I/O hardware, I saw a few
differences in datasheet, but how can I do it?

I'm using CCS C with MPLAB 8.43

C code

#include <16F876.h>

#use delay(clock=4000000)

void main()
{

SET_TRIS_B(0x00);

for( ; ; ){
OUTPUT_B(0x01);
delay_ms(500);
OUTPUT_B(0x00);
delay_ms(500);}
}

I already tried pullups, didn't work

Could anyone give me some help, please!

You have to pullup with a 10K resistor pin 1 (MCRL) otherwise mcu will not work.

Al.

Just like that! I was looking many places but not
on right terms. I did not get it without your help.
When I did it, it has worked absolutely fine.

-> pullup MCRL with a 10K resistor pin 1

Many thanks, Aratti

Just goes to show you can't always trust simulators.

Golden rules:
1) - Place a 0.1uF capacitor across the Vcc and Vdd lines as close to the PIC as you can. If the PIC has 2 sets of supply pins use a capacitor across each set of pins
2) - Use a pull up resistor between MCLR and +ve.
3) - Tie all inputs to either +ve or GND via pull up or pull down resistors - typically 1K - 10K - Not advisable to leave inputs floating
