Isn't that always the way? Hopefully you'll see something easy to fix when you get it opened up, it's got to be something simple. The 18F chips are great once you get the hang of them, just keep at it, and remember, we do this for fun right?
Merry Christmas!

i did find one little thing... one pin from my OSC was touching a 5V line... so i fixed that, but im still not getting any voltage on any pins...
|
How are you programming the fuses? In the code or the *.inc??
Either way, post the config settings. The 18s are different ...
This is a snippet of my 18F4320.inc
Code:CONFIG OSC = HS CONFIG LVP = OFF CONFIG BOR = OFF CONFIG MCLRE = OFF ; __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _XT_OSC_1H ; __CONFIG _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H ; __CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L

ok... i have tried to get this to work lots since last year, adn it still wont do anything. i have pulled apart both boards and checked all the solder joints with my meter, and have gone over and over the design to make sure everything is wired properly. i have replaced the OSC with another one. there is .1uf caps spead out over the board, and i have a 1M ohm resistor from PGM to ground.
i can program code into the chip, and i can read it back, it just wont run. i have an LED connected from D4 to a resistor and then to gnd. all the other ports i have put my meter on and watched for voltage changes.
my code is:

and the fuses are set as:

watchdog timer " enabled"
watchdog postscaler "1:128"
ccp2 multiplexed with "RC1"
mclr pin function "reset"

LVP "disabled"
boot block "not protected"
im using microcode studio, mpasm and an epic programmer.

[QUOTE=dragons_fire;49764]Easier to read in my mindCode:DEFINE OSC 20 pause 500 trisa = 0 : trisb = 0 : trisc = 0 : trisd = 0 trise = 0 : trisf = 0 : trisg = 0 : trish = 0 start: porta = $ff : portb = $ff : portc = $ff portd = $ff : porte = $ff : portf = $ff portg = $ff pause 300 porta = 0 : portb = 0 : portc = 0 : portd = 0 porte = 0 : portf = 0 : portg = 0 pause 300 goto start endAnd accomplishes the same thing.
What I like to do when I'm having initial problems is something like this:
counter var word : trisb = 0 : trisd = 0
main:
counter = counter + 1
portb = counter.lowbyte : portd = counter.highbyte
goto main
Something simple like that. At least that way, on each successive pin, I'll see half the frequency of the previous pin.
All of the Vdd/AVdd tied together as well as the Vss/AVss? Multiple power/ground pins ya know... Actually, I know you know...Treadbot...worked...sort of...sorry to hear it didn't work 100% for ya. Looked like fun.
Pull up to +5v on MCLR? Preferably thru a resistor...
Volts on the OSC pins should give about a 1.5v signal, give or take a bit.

fuses
Hello Dragon's_fire.
Here are some config fuses taken from the .INC in the MPASM directory. it might help.
JSCode:@ __CONFIG _OSC_HS_1H & _LVP_OFF & _WDT_ON_2H & _BOR_OFF_2L & _PWRT_ON_2L & _WRT0_OFF_6L & _CPD_OFF_5H

Skimask, i tried that code you posted, still nothing,... im going up to my otehr computer to see if i can attach a copy of the schematic... i dont think i messed up the hardware, but im kinda scared i did.. when i put my meter across:
OSC1-OSC2, it shows 0V
OSC1-GND, it shows 2.5V
OSC2-GND, it shouws 3.6V
PGM is grounded through a 1Mohm resistor,
all power and ground pins are connected including Avdd and Avss

just wondering if doing it this way decreases code size too, or if it just makes for less typing??? im working on writing some code for this project (if i can ever get the board to work) and i know it would make the code smaller to look at if i did it as above, but i think it would be harder to write since i have labeled all my ports for what they do, so when i write it, i use those "labels"....Originally Posted by skimask;49770[code

The hex file comes out the same, this works for very organised people, who know the subject material very well, I suggest you do it the other way with loads of comments so a year from now, when your are even better than you are now . . you can make sense of what you did as you rewrite your code . . . and you will.

Nope, it's just a 'me-ism' thing.
I like to get as much code on a screen as I can. I hate scrolling up and down and if I've got a longer routine, I can bunch it all up in one page. It's my STYLE, if you can call it that.
Some people hate it, I mean really HATE it...too bad, so sad, don't care. If a guy has half a brain, they'd know how to use the 'replace' shortcut in WORD to put a single command on each line, and if not that, they'd at least know how to split it up. For instance, my latest project is about 1700 lines of the bunched up code, fills an 18F4620...no extra line breaks, no extra spaces, no nothing, etc. If I was to spread that out, make it "right", I estimate it would take up about 8500 lines. Forget that noise. Most of the time, my 2nd monitor is turned 90 right and Windows adjusted accordingly, like it's in 'Portrait' mode instead of the normal landscape...oh and it's 1600x1200, so that really packs it in there.
What's a guy expect for FREE help?
But like Joe said, it's all personal preference. Get your own method, stick with it, it's all good...

What does it mean system clock disabled? Does this mean no oscillator?

im not sure... i have tried it on both enabled and disabled. those were taken from the config settings of my programmer.

System clock is actually OSCSEN.
While a program is running, you can switch the clock source from the main clock source (crystal, R/C, whatever) over to the Timer1 clock source, and back again.
