Hi
I'm following a basic PIC tutorial. I've assembled a circuit on my bread board to flash an LED. I'm using the PIC 16F886 with a 5V AC to DC converter (500 mA max).
The Setup:
5V going to the Vdd
5V to MCLR through 11.5 kOhm resistor
Vss to ground
5V to RC oscillator w/ a 11.5 kOhm resistor in series w/ a 27 pF capacitor to ground
OSCin is connected to the RC oscillator between the resistor and capacitor
220 Ohm resistor from port B to an LED to ground
The problem:
The circuit doesn't work unless i'm physically touching the LED wire or the resistor coming to it. I checked my connections with a multimeter but they seem ok. The port doens't seem to output voltage UNLESS i'm touching it.
LOL this is driving me insane. Any ideas on what's happening.
Thanks
