    Default No program response, including config instructions

    I have been testing a program for a 12F683 to drive an RC servo. The compiler is Picbasic Pro ver 3 and both QL 200 and IDE 2 programmers give the same result. The programmed chip does nothing. Reducling the program to a simple loop turning a pin on and off with config setting Clk Out on pin 4, the analyser shows the clk operating at the default 4MHz instead of the config set 8MHz. After many hours and much reading of the datasheet and so on, no result. I sense the problem lies with the configuration statements, but even with only those in the .INFO file there is no response.

    Has anyone a suggestion on what direction to go?

    First post your code here...
    Clkout is FOSC/4, so OSC is set to 8MHz, you should get 2MHz on pin.

    Analyser shows the clock "ticking" at 1MHz, corresponding to the default 4MHz/4, not the 2MHz I intended to set.

    The analyser shows GPIO.5 going Hi and staying there until the power is turned off.

    Power is 3 x 1.5 AA cells.

    Addendum to my post with code included. Line 176 should read "PulsePin = 0" A typo in my transferring the code. Sorry.

    Richard,

    Thank you very much for a very helpful reply.

    dgg1 was of course a typo - being too clever in the (adjusted) cut & paste process. Ditto for the missing Pause 50. I did intend the pause to be 50mSec - simply for ease of viewing in this "get it going" test version. In the servo drive version the pulse is 1.5 - 2 mSec and a period of 20 mSec.

    As I read your version, you have confirmed my suspicion my problem lay in the config and other statements above the program proper start line. My original effort(s) expressed OSCCON, TRISIO and so on in the form you have, but I tried setting one bit at a time to be sure (in my mind) I was not accidentally setting bits I did not intend. I shall reveret to your format.

    From your version my suspicion is focused on my missing the DEFINE NO_CLRWDT 1. I did not see that in any of the material fi found on WDT.

    Anyway, I shall try this as soon as I can and report back

    Thanks again

    (PS The comment "This is better than free to air TV is undoubtedly true. Well, I think it is, but the compiler rejected it when accidentally included in the program, so perhaps there is some doubt?)

    From your version my suspicion is focused on my missing the DEFINE NO_CLRWDT 1
    your suspicion is totally unfounded . i assumed you had a "valid" reason for not using the WDT
    [DEFINE NO_CLRWDT 1 ] simply stops the compiler adding unnecessary CLRWDT commands to the resulting code
    and potentially wasting code space .

    to get the best possible results from the forum you need to post the actual code you are using {in code tags}
    not some hacked up version full of typo's .

    Richard,

    Thanks for your comments. We are not all perfect, but I shall try to do better next time re typos. .

    I copied by cut and paste then compiled your code exactly as you sent it.

    The result was the same. No reaction from the Pic. Nor from five of its mates. So unless I have a bad batch of Pics, as you say I have one bit of rubbish that is preventing the program working. Since the body of the program is so simple this suggests the rubbish is somewhere above that.

    Attached is a sample screen shot from the analyser. The power supply is on channel 7 (Purple) and the expected output on channel 6 (Blue). The trigger is channel 7.

    The output shows a single short output pulse when the power comes on, then a delay of about 2.5 seconds before going High. Then nothing until the power is turned off. Collecting a sample for longer is just the same - the shift Low of the output pin just moves out to when the power is turned off.

    An suggestions please?

    Richard,

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    In some ways it is a relief to know it is not the code. That is a big step forward.

    As per my first post I had tried two different programmers, both from the same origin. I also tried an older version of MPLAB (which I had had programming success) and a download of the latest version. No success with any combination.

    I shall wend my way carefully and methodically through re-installation and settings again, including trying the job on the (retired) 32 bit PC that previously yielded success. All while I wait for delivery of a new programmer I ordered on suspicion.

    I really am getting too old for all this. In retirement things are supposed to go smoothly!

    Thanks again for your help.

    Don't know if this will help at all (I haven't read the whole thread yet) but here's one I use on a project of mine. Remember that, in my case, I only have to drive the servo from one extreme to another. I'm not using proportional control at all - just one side or the other.

    But this works - so maybe it'll help.
