DCD command - need some advice

[SteveB]

Ok' I'm working my way through this version using the 16F873A, but I've hit a small issue...

I have set port A to all inputs...

the PIC simply ignores any input on RA2, but more confusingly, it runs each pattern once in sequence, ie it cycles through the patterns as if the button is being pressed, so swcount must in some way be changing...

Pot PORTA.1,scale,D                     ;used to read value from 10k pot and set the speed
read patt[swcount],steps                ;read the first value of the selected patter and place it in the variable steps
        for C = 1 to steps              ;for / next loop
           READ PATT[SWCOUNT]+ C,PORTB  ;reads the step value for selected pattern and send it to PORTB 
           PAUSE D                      ;delay for speed
        NEXT
GOTO MAIN

Exactly what value have you put into ADCON1 to "set port A to all inputs" yet still get the Pot command to work? It seems as though you still might have some of them set as Analog Inputs.
