Noobie programmer

[noobie]

I tried it out but to no avail. Output RA4 still dun hav a high...

[Darrel Taylor]

RA4 ???

Your output was RB5.

[noobie]

Sorry i made a mistake... Should be RB5 do not hav a high output...

[Darrel Taylor]

Then, may I ask exactly where you put the line?

AND

Just a manual switch at port B,0 that is providing a high ...

Does it have a pull-down resistor to provide a low when the switch is not pressed?

[noobie]

I did have a pull up resistor so that it is a low when the switch is not press.
I place the CLRF STATUS before GOTO main

Then you're left with Paul's other questions ...

Does your chip program without error?
What configs did you set?

Along with ...

Are you using a 6mhz crystal?
Is the oscillator config set to HS or H4? (16C745 doesn't have XT mode)
What size capacitors are on the crystal? (normally 22pf)
Is it a valid crystal, and is it actually oscillating?
Is there a pull-up resistor on MCLR?
Do you have 5V to VDD?
Are both VSS pins connected to ground?

Sorry for the basic questions but, it doesn't matter how good the program is, if the hardware isn't running.

Sorry Guess noobie fault... I didn't pluck in the oscillator... Embarrased that i made this kind of stupid fault...
