18F2431 Learning Curve

Update:

I have added the following lines to my Blinky LED program:

ANSEL0 = 0              ' Set all PORTA as digital I/O
ADCON0.0 = 0            ' Disable A/D module
TRISA = 0               ' Set PORTA as output

I was confident I would see a blinking LED after these changes but was sadly mistaken...

Some will disagree, but I have never trusted the programmer to set the configs.
What version of PBP are you running?

[Aussie Barry]

Ver 3.0.1.4

How should I manually set the configs and/or which configs are critical for my simple application?

I went back to the LCD test program and noticed that I do get two lines of text appearing BUT the timing is way out of kilter - maybe by a factor of 10 or 20?
I am pretty sure I have a clock issue. I don't have any crystals to drop in place but will try to get some tomorrow. I will also re-try the Blinky LED program and reduce the time between toggles to see if I can get something happening...
