Noobie programmer

[Darrel Taylor]

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...

Not to worry, just chalk it up as something you won't do next time.

Eventually, you'll have made every possible mistake already, and you'll write Perfect bug free code. &nbsp; But, in the mean time, plan on having at least one of those "ooops" reactions in every project you do.

I still do.
