Help with this code, it compiles but doesn't work on my simulations

[joseph]

@ DEVICE pic12F683, INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT
DEFINE OSC 8
TRISIO = %101011
CMCON0 = 7 
start:   IF      GPIO.1 = 1 then 
         high    GPIO.4
alarm:   FREQOUT GPIO.2,1500,1000
         pause 1500
         goto alarm
         else
         low GPIO.2
         pause 100
         low GPIO.4
         pause 100
         goto start
         endif
end

this code compiles, i'm sure that i selected the correct device but it doesn't work

joseph, What makes you think it doesn't work? The statememts you have here:
alarm: FREQOUT GPIO.2,1500,1000
pause 1500
goto alarm
will loop forever..... Not a very good practice...

Help

[malc-c]

Try adding:

ANSEL = 0 ' Analog select set to digital, pg 69 data sheet
ADCON0 = 0 ' A/D turned OFF, pg 68 of data sheet

Also, have you used a 10K resistor to pull down GPIO.1 so it reeds logic 0 until the switch is pressed and GPIO.1 is taken high

[joseph]

i'l try to add that and regarding the pull down yes i did placed a pulldown resistor

[joseph]

whoa! it worked! thankyou malc-c

[malc-c]

I'm not going to hammer on about how you must read the data sheets for these devices, I'll leave that to some of the others

Glad to of helped.
