The worst programmer ever to grace this forum - ME!

[HankMcSpank]

<br> Now as for no signs of life from your LEDs, in the PICkit2 programmer software there is a check box that must be selected to power your demo board, unless you rig a separate power line to it.

VDD *is* present (ie I double checked, by testing the VDD test point with my Voltmeter ....when I added the Pickit 2 to PICBASIC, I quickly established that -T needed to be added to the parameter field to keep VDD on the board when the programming sequence exited.

My LEDS are doing anying!

Could you please outline what bit of code would need to follow your 'chaser' to raise all RCx ports high? ...

@MyConfig = _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_ON
@MyConfig = MyConfig & _MCLRE_ON & _BOR_OFF
@ __config MyConfig

DEFINE OSC 4
PortA = 0
PortB = 0
PortC = 0
TRISA = 0
TRISB = 0
TRISC = 0
i var byte

....I'll settle for *any* illuminated LED at this stage! (flashing or not).

The PICkit 2 board has an LED connected to pins RC0-RC3. (btw: I can handle references like PORTC.0 PORTC.1 ...but at this stage, I'm just not locking in to referencing the Port C pins on the PIC in other ways!)



PS As a sanity check, I've just programmed up the PIC with the Microchip "rotate" hex code....all LEDs light up & chase just fine.
