Strange Behavour of PortC.5

Hi,

I know this is something I will kick myself for..

Simple circuit with PortC 4,5,6 and 7 set as inputs. But PortC. 5 will not trigger the test LED as shown in program below. Have changed PIC (18F2525) and checked circuit.

Any help will save whats left of my sanity!
Bob

i'm about to sleep, but can you post your config fuses setting or your compiled HEX ?

Make sure you have selected HS OSC and the supply line is noise-free.

Is there any pull-up on PORTC?

but... let's see if the remaining brain cell may think of something else...

Code:

---


if PORTC.5=0 then
        ledY=1
        pause 500
        endif

if PORTC.6=0 then
        ledY=1
        pause 500
        endif

if PORTC.7=0 then
        ledG=1
        pause 500
        endif

if PORTC.4=0 then
        ledG=1
        pause 500
        endif

GOTO start
end

not tested yet...

But... erm..

Code:

---

PAUSE 500
t4=portc/16 ' Read the high 4 IPs. move to low byte
if (t4 & %0010)=0 then
ledY=1
pause 500
endif
if (t4 & %0100)=0 then
ledY=1
pause 500
endif
if (t4 & %1000)=0 then
ledG=1
pause 500
endif
if (t4 & %0001)=0 then
ledG=1
pause 500
endif
GOTO start
end

seems you forgot some %??? or it's a copy/paste error?

Hello BobP, Mister_e,
Do you think SSPCON1 register may have effect on PortC? I was thinking,
SSPCON1= %00000101 ' to turn off SDO on PortC.5

POR value of SSPCON1=0, so it's already disable... but yes never trust it :D

First many thanks for all the quick replies.

Second... I am now kicking myself around the room.

mister_e got it in one, I had forgotten to use the binary '%' symbol. The way 3 of the 4 inputs worked threw me completly and I thought it was periphal settings....

Thanks to all again,
Bob
