Q: using MCLR for Input on 12F683

[BrianT]

I crashed my RC aircraft using the PULSOUT command.

PULSOUT is a 'toggle'. Whatever state the pin was in, it will flip for the duration specified in the PULSOUT command. That is bad news if your servo pin gets clobbered and you were expecting it to be low when you called the PULSOUT routine.

To be safe, you MUST predefine the pin state before calling PULSOUT.

e.g.

LOW ServoPin
PULSOUT ServoPin, 500

will work every time.

Thanks Brian, I've got the pulsout working...actual pretty good now. Just some issues with getting gpio.2 and gpio.3 to simply operate LED's!

My code is posted above.

Cheers,

John.
