I upgraded to v8.15 and same problem still exists.

on the PIC10f series GP3 is input or MCLR only and can never be an output. Default setting for GP3 on TRISIO would be 1, which is MCLR so I would assume that setting it to 0 would make it the only other setting it supports (Input only) maybe I am wrong, but I only placed that in the code after trying other methods.

I do use a resistor (at least 1k but usually much more) to pull GP3 to ground to send in a low, but at that point the chip just draws current as if in normal operation but all output functions cease (as in the LED no longer blinks and no outputs from GP0 exist)

This is telling me that GP3 is never actually getting set to input only but is staying as MCLR.. I have tried in the past to no avail, I am basically starting fresh with it now and hoping for help lol
