Q: using MCLR for Input on 12F683

[johnnylynx]

Thanks Joe,

I didn't catch that, I'll make changes and see if that fixes the input problem.

I still have the output issue though with GPIO.3, it doesn't want to run the LED.

Any thoughts?

Not sure but I think that pin is input only.

I dunno John, I never use the High / Low convention, preferring to specify TRISIO AND GPIO instead because as I understand it , High/Low reads modify's and writes the whole port ( all the I/Os ) when you do.

Thanks guys,

I think I've got it working OK now...but by copy of the picbasic compiler (with microcode studio) only limits me to 31 code lines

As much as I like Microcode Studio...is there something out there a guy can use that is much cheaper than picbasic pro AND is downloadable from the NET?

John.

Thanks, how do these compilers compare to picbasic pro?

I suggest that you download the demos (and relevant user manuals) and judge for yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
