can someone help me check?

hi melanie!

i will try your method of going about the whole wiring and placement of components on the board and post my results later on tonite (now since i know how to take proper snap shots of the board). have to go dig out my LED's. hehe. oh just wondering the language you're using? is it basic stamp? i don't recognise it really and i tried certain codes which were written that way and the compiler didn't recognise it. I'm using PICBasic Pro for compiler, Microcode as editor and Epic Programmer to burn to the chip. But your way of coding seems a lot more easier. this is the one i have for PICBASIC PRO. does the same thing but differently.

'PicBasic Pro codes
Loop:
    High PORTB.0
    Low PORTB.1
    Pause 500
    Low PORTB.0
    High PORTB.1
    Pause 500
    Goto Loop

I am using PICBasic Pro in my example (this is a MeLabs compiler site after all!). That example WILL compile with the command line...

pbp -p16F84A Filename

All I did was alias PortB.0 to LED, and use LED thereafter... applying this to your example...

    @ DEVICE pic16F84A, XT_OSC
    @ DEVICE pic16F84A, WDT_ON
    @ DEVICE pic16F84A, PWRT_ON
    LED var PortB.0
    AntiLED var PortB.1
    TRISA=%00000000
    TRISB=%00000000
Loop:
    High LED
    Low AntiLED
    Pause 500
    Low LED
    High AntiLED
    Pause 500
    Goto Loop

of course you can always simplify the whole (original) loop...

Loop:
    Toggle LED
    Pause 500
    Goto Loop

Aliasing you will find in your PBP manual. TRISA/TRISB you will find in the PICs Datasheet, and @ DEVICE you will find here...
