Hi Norman,
Welcome to this forum !
Does the circuit work using the For next loop ? What happens when you tell it to sleep ? Does it sleep and fail to awaken, or just never sleeps?
Code:
define osc 20 ' makes the internal oscillator 2 MHZ ( default 4 MGH )
20 ? for 2 ? Also You should get the habit of using all UPPERCASE for defines, a requirement for MPASM.
I am not a SLEEP expert, I have seen it done this way:
and it worked, and would not without the " @ " perhaps someone else can explain to us both as to why.
Edit
Code:
PORTB.0 = 1 ' pin 7
PORTB.1 = 1 ' pin 6
PORTB.5 = 1 ' pin 2
PORTB.4 = 1 ' pin 3
12F683 does not have a PortB it uses GPIO . Are you doing this in a simulator?
