Triggering 5 TTL clocks simultaneously

[mister_e]

mmm, are you saying PWM stops when you jump CCP1 to RB0? what about if you do a simple blink on this RB0 pin... or do a simple IF THEN on RB0

IF PORTB.0 = 1 then DoSomething or Start HPWM

maybe this pin is burn now

[TurboLS]

So you are saying that my code is right and the pin is just acting weird? If it is burned, I have like 8 more PIC chips. I just want to make sure that the problem is fixed before I burn another one. So I will test this PORTB.0 with a simple blink program to see if it responds at all. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again for your continued input.

Do the RB0 test before using others.

BTW, i'm about setting up a board to do something like this for testing. ì'll post the code here.

This one use RB0 interrupt handler routine.

Is there any reason why I can't get the process to start when PORTA.2 goes high?? I haven't rewired the HPWM/RB0 yet, but that should not matter. The PIC should at least shift the vertical clocks before even checking the reset (interrupt flag). Are my registers set correctly for analog input to PORTA.0 and digital input to PORTA.2??

[mister_e]

to have analog on PORTA.0
