12F683 internal pull up

[Bruce]

If you have internal pull-ups ON, and you're testing the input pin for logic 1, the only
way your LED shoud NOT blink would be when GPIO.5 is pulled to ground.

Got it working, added INTCON=7. changed input to PULSIN. Everyting is working well.

OOPS should be INTCON=0 not INTCON=7.

I'm not seeing where the INTCON or the PULSIN statements should make a difference...
And if you look back at your first post:

Simple code to work with. I am using GPIO.5 as input as digital. The LED still blinks from GPIO.2. The internal pull up dont work as expected to keep input low. Am I missing something?

Why would the internal pull UP work as expected to keep the input LOW?

Err, OK, but INTCON is already zero, by default, at power-up. Not sure where PULSIN fits into the grand scheme, but at least you got it working...;o}

That way it been erratic behavior and You are right about that the led should not blink when GPIO.5 is opened. that way when I opened the path from ground, the led still blinks. After I added INTCON=0 to it, it behaves much better and dont blink when opened. When I closed the GPIO.5 to ground, the led did blink.

I dont know why but added INTCON=0, system stablizes. Like other PIC I know dont have issues with out this configuration. Maybe it a requirement?

Clearing INTCON should not be necessary unless you had previously placed some value
in it you need to clear. At power on INTCON by default is already clear.

If it wasn't you could really have some odd behaviour with unexpected interrupts firing.
