Help with PIC project

[davekav]

This is my first PIC Project and have enjoyed it so far but having trouble moving forward at the minute.

I'm using MPLAB V8 and a PICstart programmer to burn the PIC, my clicking enable then program and it seens to work but then I got to test it on my breadboard I'm getting nothing out of the pins.


Details:
The PIC is been used for a prototype alarm system for toy car and hoping to then interface with PC to give a nice GUI and display which sensor was triggered.

Code:

list p=16f818 ; list directive to define processor
#include ; processor specific variable definitions

errorlevel -302 ; suppress message 302 from list file

__CONFIG H'3F10'

;***** VARIABLE DEFINITIONS
OPTION_R EQU 81H ;Option Register
ZEROBIT EQU 2 ;means ZEROBIT is bit 2.
COUNT EQU 20H ;COUNT a register to count events.
COUNTA EQU 21H

Hi,

Here you are to speak PicBasic Pro ... asm ONLY if incuded into a PbP file ...

Now,

Think to include the right .inc file ( line 2 ) ... LOL !

BUT, mostly ... think to disable the ADC Module and allow pins as DIGITAL !!!

and check if SSP doesn't catch some Port pins ... ( you talk about a link to a PC ... so is it to disable ??? )

MOVLW B'00000000'
MOVWF OSCCON ;oscillator 31.25kHz

That's pretty slow :o

Now if you want to communicate with your PC, and make things easier, choose a PIC with a built-in USART. The MSSP module is not going to help you for that.

I know i saw that somewhere else yesterday... not sure where.. but i saw that yesterday...

Yea steve your correct that was me yesterday also.

Sorry I know this is PICBASIC only but found a lot of good stuff on these forums, just say I forgot about the PC interaction side of things, does my code look ok?

I have include 16F818 on my main code don't know why I left it out.

Thanks again.
