Using PORTA as output

[microcozmoz]

Hi all,

I have a problem about using 16F628's PORTA as an output. I want to use only one bit for an output but I cant.
CODE :

Best Regards.

@ DEVICE pic16F628a
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, WDT_ON
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, PWRT_ON
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, PROTECT_OFF
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, MCLR_OFF
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT

TRISB = %00000000
TRISA = %11111110
PORTA = 0
PORTB = 0

OPTION_REG.7=1
CMCON=7

MAIN:
HIGH PORTA.5
PAUSE 1000
LOW PORTA.5
PAUSE 1000
GOTO MAIN

END

You have only PORTA.0 as output in TRISA

This code is only for example.Change High PORTA.5 to High PORTA.0 ...

Hi, µcosmos

a look at the datasheet could show you the reason why ...

See table 3.2 " Pinout assignment " ... or table 5.1 !!!

Thank you for your advice!! I must rtfds....

When using HIGH or LOW commands, it does not matter whether the pin is registered to be as an input or output pin.

HIGH and/or LOW already set the pin as an output pin.

Just make sure that the pin is not an input only pin.
