To me, that FAQ assumes a fair degree of previous knowledge!
if I'm reading it right, the 16F690.inc file tells the assembler to configure the PIC for 'what's out there'?
What's doing my head in is the sheer number of 16f690.inc files there are on my PC...
c:\mpasm\16f690.inc (which looks a whole lot different to the others!)
c:\pbp\16f690.inc (the one that Joe S said I should comment out - not sure which lines ...all of them?)
c:\pbp\inc\ (a whole lot of files in here!)
At the risk of sounding incredibly slow - help!
Once again, all I want is the correct code to 'set the chip correctly' for me to then start my simple journey to get an LED, firstly lit, then flashing (wheee!)
Joe.S kindly posted a 'chaser' earlier ( & said I needed to comment out the inc file in c:\pbp ....which lines?!)
I'm perplexed that this chip should be so troublesome at the very first base ....from a newbie's perspective, it's probably the most prevelant since it's bundled in with the low pin count board on on the Pickit 2 starter. It might have been useful to have a "So you got a 16F690 PIC & you've arrived here after using the Pickit 2....here are some things you should know/do!" type thread.
I'm an absolute novice here.....are we saying there's an issue with the PIC itself...or just this particular PIC in combination with PICBasic? (fwiw, I'm suspecting the latter as the PIC is fine using the Micropchip Assembler)
Many thanks in anticipation.
