RA.4 Open collector,...

[tazntex]

I did read about the Vbor, but also in the electrical specifications, it state minimum brown out reset voltage is 3.65V. Using a 3.3V regulator I rekon that cuts that out of the picture.

Well, I don't mean to get off of my original thread but since I am here and ya'll are reading this...
When using Darryl Taylors Interrup's and MPASM how does one set the config bits,thats where I can turn it off, I have been using this PBP compiler with sucess :
@ DEVICE PIC16F628a,XT_OSC
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, WDT_OFF
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, PWRT_ON
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, MCLR_ON
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, BOD_OFF
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, LVP_OFF
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, CPD_OFF
@ DEVICE pic16F628a, PROTECT_OFF
I have even opened the 16F628A.INC in the PBP directory and it is turned off with the above added to my code when I compile using MPASM it won't compile, I get a bunch of errors. If I delete the above it compiles fine.
Meanwhile, I am reading Melanie's post again to see what I've missed: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/cont...o-your-Program
Thank you

Hi;

You must do it like this;

@ __config _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF &_PWRTE_OFF

See this post;

Thanks Gadelhas for the fast reply, I tried to compile using that and I get this error:


@ __CONFIG _XT_OSC & _WDT_OFF & _MCLRE_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF

What does this mean?

Many Thanks

Perhaps I could use the external brown out protection with the 3.3V regulator as shown on the datasheet, I like the Example2 version.

Hi;

To not give that error you need to go to the file of your pic model in the PBP directory and comment that line, like this;

I did see that but just thought that was to easy and I must have been missing something. But I have done what you said and it works.

Thank you very much for your help
