16F913 setup

[PulsarProFX]

Most PIC's have a "weak pull up" for the MCLR pin. On the 16F913, I don't see this is an option in any register, however, on page 220 "Configuration Bits" [CONFIG1] there is a reference to MCLR. To tie it to VDD they say to enter "0" for this binary string. Wouldn't this mean that because you'd use a "0", if not entering CONFIG1 at all, it would automatically default to "0" and apply a weak-pull up on MCLR?

Otherwise, I would have to have a resistor/cap tied to MCLR which I really don't have the room to do if it's not absolutely necessary.

Not sure I understand what you are after but have you
_MCLRE_OFF
and made the pin an input?

I found that the PIC16F913 INC file didn't have all the configs listed and had to use the meProg, View, Configuration screen to set the configs from before flashing the device.

And thanks to Mark_S for that code sample. I had finally brought the 16F913 and LCD-S401M1TF to life using about 900 Words but rewriting using your example with the LookUp table and IF/THENs reduced it to just over 500 Words.

Hello All,

After getting everything together for the 913, I fired up MIcroCode Studio (for those who use PicBasic Pro) just to find out that they don't support the 16F913 and above.

How does one know how to compile from PBP to the chip?!

How were you able to send the program to your 16F913? Are you using Microcode Studio or something else. My "chip listing" for the 16F series only goes up to 16F88 on the non-pro version 3.0.0.5 and the same for the MCS Pro version. Is there something wrong on my end or does MCS not support this 16F913 series chip. I upgraded to PBP 2.6 just because it had this chip that I have to use!

I use MicroCode Studio PBP 2.47 with the MPASM compiler. It supports the 16F913 found in the drop down box.
