The PIC does not start its program.

[skimask]

Why would it run once ?

Because that's the way his program is written...

Get the basics going first.

But the circuit/program is so far beyond the basics!!!

AND SKI, it's not just the sugar that will decay your teeth, the acid from your saliva will eat through the enamal and calcium, so use a calcium replacing toothpaste. I personally like the green lollipops best

And I'm sure it's not doing the wires and brackets any good either (I wish there was a little green smiley face with braces out there somewhere)
