i donno where is the problem portb or a doesnt work to high many LEDs
example:
define osc 4
Include "modedefs.bas"
portb = 0
trisa = 0
main:
portb = %0111111
pause 100
portb = %10001101
goto main
doesnt work it works just if u toggle led by led
like:
high portb.1 or portb.2
need help please i tested it on many PICs th same problem????????????
I think you have a few errors in your code:
1. If you want to flash the LEDs on PORTB, you must make PORTB an output:
TRISB = 0
2. The first pattern of LEDS only has 7 bit, make it eight:
PORTB = %01111111
3. At the end, just befor the loop ' GOTO Main' you need another PAUSE 100 of the LEDS will change too fast to see.
So the Main bit of your code should look like:
DEFINE OSC 4
TRISB = 0
PORTB = 0
Main:
PORTB = %10101010
PAUSE 100
PORTB = %01010101
PAUSE 100
GOTO Main
END
Just FYI too:
The reason it works for you when using the "High" command, is that "High" automatically sets that port an output...so it works. Explicitly setting the port register as you did requires you to define the port as an output as Bill described.

Hello Mus.me,
Please tell us which PIC you are using, as each is a little different, so WE may look into it's data sheet. Your code looks like it will work BUT the unknown is if your PIC has analog stuff on portB, which you have not disabled.
THANKS JOE ,IM USING F84 NOW I CHANGED SOME WIRES IT WORKS, BUT IM STILL FIGHTING WITH VARIABLES ,Quote:

i've done PORTB.1 to 05 outputs to LEDs anoides , and ic 4017 to 9 cathodes and PORTB.0 pulse to 4017 clock and PORTB.7 to 4017 reset, i hope u understand and tell me ur ideas about the variables thanks.
PORTB = %00100001 ' LETTER A
no good when you later have
PORTB = A
Try....
Code:A VAR BYTE
A = %00100001
PORTB = A
sorry i didnt explaine good my codeQuote:

Hi Mus.Me,
2 things,
<b>first </b>Use Code Tags, Please.
You do this by writing the word" code "in between square brackets[write it here ] before your code, and after your code you put /code again in between square brackets, like so [/code]
<b>second</b> thing, what was the PIC you were having trouble with before?
Look at these links:
http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=11263
http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10834
16F84 is a good fit for you right now, no extra distractions, "fighting with variables"? Oh, I see what you are saying . . .
Code:thank u joe for help i will do it right this time lol
Great ! How's that code coming ?Quote:

Though this is not a show ender it is bothersome.
A lot of PICs have analog on portA. If the one you are using shutting the ADC off may help.
Go to the FAQ section and look for a thread about portA not working.
I disabled the A/D converter ADCON0 = 0, but the problem remains. Strange.
What PIC are you using?
I am using the 18F1220 PIC.
Check the data sheet but if I remember correctly ADCON1 is the register to set on that PIC.
ADCON1 = %01111111
makes all digital.
Setting ADCON1 makes no difference. Always on the first 'release from reset' it misbehaves.Quote:

I finally found the solution. You cannot clear PORTA
when I removed the code
'PORTA = %01000000 ' Clear PORTA
It worked on the first 'release from reset'. Now all I need is to indivually clear each bit.
How's this for Spaghetti Code
PORTA.1 = 0 :PORTA.2 = 0 :PORTA.3 = 0 :PORTA.4 = 0 :PORTA.5 = 0 :PORTA.6 = 0
Great!
I saw you configs and was wondering about the OSC setting.
But if it is working...
A friend of mine writes code that way. Here is a mild sample.Quote:

After you do it that way for awhile it begins to make sence.

HiYa wbubel,
PortA = %01000000 means portA.6 is going high when port is made an output, so if it crosses that place in space time while the PIC is initializing you will see PortA.6 output high. You want to set PortA.6 as zero and do it before you set the tris register to input or output so when it becomes an output or input the latch register is set in a known state, setting it as 1 does not enable pullups or anything like that, so you should have:
You ever watched an old mechanical slot machine? Figure your registers are going like that until the pic boots and settles into the default mode, usualy 11111111, then it follows your code.Code:PortA = %00000000 ' set port latches low
TrisA = %01000000 ' make RA6 input

im using 16f84 but when i change ldata var byte to ldata var bit it complier but it doesnt work it keeps blinkin leds,i think the problem in the code and scrolling, and pic16f84 it takes 1024 words i think but i see just between 258 to 300 word, it works when i change to var bit but it doesnt scroll it shows LEDs blinkin and all off them on ????Quote:
