PICkit2 Drving me nuts!!!!

[Archangel]

Hi joe,

I just buy a PIC kit and try to program my development board..I manage to program the PIC using PIC Kit 2, but led is not going to blink..this is my code:

DEFINE OSC 20

LED VAR PORTC.5
trisc = $00

MAIN:
HIGH LED
PAUSE 500
LOW LED
PAUSE 500

GOTO MAIN

maybe there are mistakes in the code? For your information i use the code to program PIC16F877A. Communication from the PIC Kit 2 to my board is ok..and programmed successfully.

I have another question. I let say my oscillator did not work, is it the programming stage failed? because I not check the oscillator yet using scope.

Hi rosmadi,
Welcome to the forum !
Second question first: If no ocsillator, Then no work. period. If the configs are incorrect, then no OSC.
Your code looks as if it will work, <b>BUT</B> You did not list which PIC you are using, If you are using the development board or a solder less breadboard, and how you are powering it, either by a separate power supply or from the PICKit2.
The PICKit2 window has a little check box to power the development boards. Please give us the missing information I am going to list.
PIC number
Assembler . . . MPASM or the automatic default as installed
Development board ? or Breadboard?
Have you changed the xxx.inc file yet? xxx meaning the pic number I. E. 16F690.inc ? you will need to do this if you want to put configs into your code (recommended).
