How to Figure Out Compile Errors?

[RossWaddell]

I was going to use PORTC on the 16F690.

Hmm, then I'm not following, which doesn't really matter as long as you get what you need but in a previous post you wrote

Can anyone think of another chip that has a CCP module, USART and 8 output pins on a PORTA/B/C which doesn't have the CCP/Rx pin?

On the 16F690 the RX-pin is on PortB.5 and the CCP1 pin on PortC.5. I thought you were using those pins for their peripheral functions therfore not allowing 8 consecutive bits on either of those two ports - but I've must have misunderstood.

Sorry for not being clear, Henrik. For the current iteration of the code on a PIC16F88 I'm using PORTB.1-7 (since PORTB.0 is the INT pin which I have hooked up to a button switch) where the CCP1 pin is PORTB.3 but it doesn't matter as I'm only using the compare module, not the capture or PWM.
