Leaves the mainloop???

[Acetronics2]

Hi, Ioannis,

How are you ???

For one, you may show us the output pin of that PIC reseting as you suspect. Is it really reseting?

That could be done just checking the dedicated bits of the processor, then powering small LEDS showing what happened.

BUT that needs some more datasheet reading, and I do think our friend has to be led to Pic datasheet § 8.13 ... just for that checking.

It's a long way from idea to working device ... but you already know that

Best Regards
Alain

Hi Alain.

All good! Thanks for your concern. Hope and wish for you too.

Well, pescador said that with the (strange) load he places on the output, the PIC seems to reset. So, that is why I asked for an oscilloscope to see what actually the PIC does on that pin while trying to change the state. It may reveal more that way, for example:

1. Previous state
2. New state
3. How long the new state is output
4. Is it overloaded as initially was suspected?
5. Is it tristated?
