PIC16F819 LED not blinking

[Bruce]

This gives me illegal character "&" error message......asm.51

I have no clue what this error message is. What assembler are you using?

asm.51

Almost looks like you're trying to use an 8051 assembler?

I am using PICBASIC PRO from MicroCode Studio.

In the settings window, I have selected the MPASM assembler checkbox.

This is all I know. I reset the .inc file to where is was originally. Here it is....

I have been trying to get this MPASM Header, the way you wrote it, to compile correctly all day, but it still gives me errors.

This compiles without error.....

@__CONFIG_HS_OSC_WDT_OFF_PWRTE_ON

But more than this will cause a "Label truncated at 32 characters" error.

Try the config line I posted above. What you're trying to do here isn't any good.

Okay...I now understand what is to be done, and the changes were made as you said to the .inc file. Compile is now error free. Pop-up window settings are now as per your suggestion. Sorry for the crazy rookie mistakes. Let's see what happens now....

Update...LED is on steady. No blinking

You might want to try something like this to see your LEDs blink;

DEFINE OSC 4 
@ __CONFIG _INTRC_IO & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _MCLR_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _DEBUG_OFF
OSCCON = %01100000  ' 4MHz 
ADCON1=7 
TRISA = %00000000 
TRISB = %00000000 
TRISB.4 = 0 
TRISA.0 = 0 
PORTA.0 = 0 
PORTB.4 = 0 

LOOP: 
  PORTB.4 = PORTB.4 ^ 1
  PAUSE 250
  PORTA.0 = PORTA.0 ^ 1
  PAUSE 250 
  Goto LOOP

Check your PBP manual to see why your LEDs aren't visibly blinking with PULSEOUT...;o)

Still no blink. Tried above program as well. PULSOUT did not work either...?

If you prefer to edit your 16F819.INC file, then just change it to;

__CONFIG _INTRC_IO & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _MCLR_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _DEBUG_OFF

If not, then just comment it out in the .INC file & add your config settings to your code.

Melanie posted a nice intro here http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=543 on setting config options.

NOTE: This applies only to the 16F819.INC file in your PBP directory. Not the P16F819.INC
file in your MPLAB directory. These are different. You shouldn't ever need to modify the
P16F819.INC file in your MPLAB directory.
