Blink Programme for 16F876

[banjaxxed]

My first project.

PicBasic Pro + Microcode Studio Plus v2.1.0.8 + Epic Plus Programmer + Prototype Board + XT 4Mhz

Tried first setup with C508 and BLINK.BAS programme no problem.

Selected different processor and successfully loaded programme into F876.

Can turn outputs ON at any pin position, but when i use the PAUSE instruction and any time setting within the programme nothing runs at all.

What am doing wrong?

1. Read the Datasheet.

2. You will discover the F876 has ADC's (and Comparators I believe in the case of the A version). By default, PortA comes up in Analogue mode. You must set the pins to Digital. See the sections for A/D Convertor Module (and Comparator Module section if it has one) to see how to do this.

I really am trying to force people to read the Datasheets (the solution is very simple) before asking for answers on the forum.

read the Datasheets

And if it still doesn't work -- take a peek at the "errata sheet"....;o]

And by the time you've done that, you'll discover the part has been obsoleted by the 'A' version!

after spending a fortune, getting no answers or support from my suppliers... only more questions - in getting this thing going...... i'll be obsolete myself before it's over

(should have spent my hundreads of pounds on a decent micro plc)
