What am I doing wrong ?

so it seems you didn't read the FAQ
pay attention to post #5 of the link bellow

Thanks for the link, and whist I did look at the FAQ's.. I must admit that I didn't scroll down much further than the original post - Sorry !

However the good news is that the LED is now pulsing away on GPIO 0

However I really want to learn from this and I'm a tad confused (easy to do). Whats the difference between having the line in the program code and the INC file. ?

I found that if I removed the line

@ __CONFIG _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_ON & _PWRTE_ON & _MCLRE_OFF & _BODEN_ON

from the programing code and left the INC file intact the program compiled but the LED did nothing. - Reming out the line in the INC file and adding it to the code file, resulted in the code compiling without errors and the LED is pulsing away fine !

Should (or is that could) I use the INC file and have some statement in the programming code to call this file (something like include 12F675.inc)

Also, will I have to modify every INC file for every PIC that I use so i don't get this problem again ?

Cheers

Although technically correct, after some sleep and a few cups of coffee I can see that my suggestions would not have helped you. (#5 in this thread)

good luck,

Yeah it's pain dude, you'll have to modify all .INC for all PIC you have in stock. The MPAM 'errorlevel -' stuff can't work on that... it would be just too much convenient.

I already think of doing an automatic application to comment out every .inc file... maybe i'll do it one day... maybe

But i think that even if you get this Error message, your config fuse will be set as per your code. It will just be an error message like the one for Page Boundary, or Find directive in column x, or... ,.. wich can be ignored. It's just unplesant to see it in your face

I guess its all part of the learning curve ! As I stick to just two or three PICs I can't really moan about having to rem out the config line... I had a look at the 16F628a inc file and that too was remed out.. just don't remember doing it (like a lot of things these days... must be getting old !)

Thanks for all the pointers and help
