    I don't have this specific PIC here, but yes it seems that once you add the OWOUT line, things goes bad... at least on MPSIM.

    EVEN THAT ONE..
    Code:
    INICIO:
            PORTC.0=1
            PAUSE 1000
            PORTC.0=0 ' LED ON / OFF OK
    
            GOTO INICIO
    
    OWOUT PORTA.1,1,[$33] ' <----------- PIC STOP , NO GOTO INICIO
    Do nothing. It seems to work on a 16F877 so far... worth a report to Melabs.

    EDIT: OK OK... Bruce beat me
    EDIT2: Solution work as expected.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Hi Alain,

    ... but how did he know ??? MPsim ???
    I just got lucky and looked at the OWOUT library first. MPSIM would for sure have been my
    next choice however.

    congratulations for your commercial service .... works pretty fine to Europe.
    Thank you. I wish it worked that well to everywhere outside the U.S....;o}

    Hi Francisco,

    And tell the technicians of Mlasb
    I have already informed MeLabs of the error in the OWOUT routine. I'm sure they will release
    a patch shortly to fix the minor error.

    This is one major reason it's so nice to have an open library. You're not dead in the water
    until a re-compiled patch comes out. Just fix it, and move on. Really a nice feature with PBP.
    Regards,

    Default Newer version with this bug fixed ?

    Did this ever get fixed ? I can see 2.50a on the Melabs site, but nothing newer. I assume this bug is still valid.

    I'm not going to mess with my installation...it works too smoothly.
    I guess the only way to figure out if 'A' fixed the problem is to install 2.50, check the macro, install the patch, and check the macro again.
