PIC508/9 Header

[stay_aliveuk]

Since writing the previous message I have looked into the 'F' range of IC's and you are spot on, these are what I should be playing with, top advice.

Still could do with a pointer on what the first couple of lines should look like for say the 12F629, which is 8 pin device.

For example I always start with (for the 16c84)

' Set Up PortB

DIRS=%11111110 'set portb pins as input or output as necessary
PINS=%00000000 'set all portb pins low (or as necessary for each application)

' End of PortB Set up

'Main Program

Best regards

I really should wait a while before posting a reply. Since writing the above I have come across the following which may be what I am looking for:-

BANK0 $0020, $005F

PORTL VAR GPIO

include "PBPPIC14.RAM"

'*-----------------------* EOF 12F629.BAS *---------------------*

It appears to be a generic header for the 12f629 afterwhich the main program is written. If so can you 'decifer' it for me, ie are the ports set up as ins or outs and are they set high or low to begin?

Thanks
