How to read CONFIG1

[dsicon]

Unless the PIC has CFGS you cannot read the fuses (otherwise known as config registers). This appears to be a PIC18 only thing. Unless you have a suspect PIC or programmer they are what you last wrote to them.

BTW always a good idea to check for an errata if your PIC wont do as it's told.

thanks for that confirmation about not being able to read those registers in a 16F, too bad about that

i did read the errata and did not spot a related issue, peda is helping me on another thread here that is related to what started this
