PIC16F628A, RB4 does nothing, no matter what. Changed programs from simple to complex many times. Tried 3 different ICs and still nothing. All other ports work OK. What else could be wrong?

main:
high portb.4
pause 500
low portb.4
pause 500
goto main
Try to add this in the beginning of your program
CMCON = 7
And read the PBP manual page 10, 2.5.1
If it still does´t work, check the config bits.
It could be the LVP (Low Voltage Programming).
Try adding ...But then, that is a PBP default, so it should already be there.Code:@ DEVICE LVP_OFF

StoneColdFuzzy,
Could you post all your code up to your main routine? If we could see what intializations you've done, we might be able to better help. I assume you've set your TRISD register for pin 4 as an output. That leaves comparator pins, which Fredrick addressed, and possibly analog pins - sorry, I don't have the datasheet right in front of me. I'll also make the assumption that you've doubled-checked your wiring. That cost me a mistake for the longest time this week as Darrel can atest to.
Could be a breadboard problem, could be you have mistaken which pin is RB4 (I have done that), could be an inverted polarity LED you are using or a bad one or open resistor or other wiring error. Without seeing the breadboard and the exact code we are shooting in the dark.Quote:

That was the whole main routine that I had last tried. I cut everything else out to work on the problem.
Damn, I feel silly.
