Setting up a 12F683 to run at 20 Mhz

[johnnylynx]

It does not look like you are setting the config correctly.
The thread that Joe and I pointed you to should have helped.

For now try going to the inc file for this chip in the PBP directory. Below is part of it.
If you are using PM for the assembler change
device pic12F683, intrc_osc_noclkout, wdt_on, mclr_on, protect_off
to
device pic12F683, hs_osc, wdt_on, mclr_on, protect_off

If you are using MPASM then change
__config _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_ON & _MCLRE_ON & _CP_OFF
to
__config _HS_OSC & _WDT_ON & _MCLRE_ON & _CP_OFF

Dave, thanks for your help, really appreciate it. I've been spending too many hours (very unproductive ones at that) trying to learn this thing called picbasic, and, as I'm sure you know, after you hit that frustration level...YOU JUST CAN'T GIVE UP! And, of course its down hill from there...Sleep is good, if you can get your mind off the problem.

Anyway,

Here's my Code:

[HTML]@__config _HS_OSC & _WDT_ON & _MCLRE_ON & _CP_OFF

DEFINE OSC 20


CMCON0 = 7 ' Analog comparators off
ANSEL = 0 ' Analog select set to digital, pg 69 data
ADCON0 = 0 ' A/D turned OFF, pg 68 of data


'***************************************
'Define Variables


'***************************************
'Set Variables


low 0


start:
toggle 0

pause 1000

goto start

end[/HTML]

When I change the DEFINE OSC between 4, 8, 20 it seems to work fine now...but I get compilation errors as follows:

What exactly does this mean??

John.

For the error go to the *.inc file in the PBP directory for your chip and comment out this line

__config _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_ON & _MCLRE_ON & _CP_OFF

with a ;

The warning is just a warning, you can add this near the top of you code

Asm
    ERRORLEVEL -205
Endasm

or put a space between
@ and _
in the config statement in you code.

This stuff is addictive

It worked. Thanks again. I think I'll read some Tom Clancey now...
