BaseBall pitching Code sample - NewBie

[foxstar]

I have tried to test this code and I can not get either of the switches RA.3 or RC.3 to fire off. Dose anyone know why? Are the registers set correctly?

Put a meter on the pins to make sure they're actually changing states?
Registers appear to be set correctly, that is if you are using the same code you posted in the zip file earlier.

The Inning isn't over just because you Walk somebody.

If balls = 4 Then over

<hr>
Do you have pull-up resistors on RA.3 and RC.3 ?
Is the PIC even running? Can you Blink an LED ?

OK, folks I include a layout of the chip and what I'm trying to do.
I used the paint program, It's all I have to draw with..

Again it's a PIC16F684 e/p

Thanks!

Have you configured MCLR as internal in your code?
Are you sure you have the A/D pins set up correctly for digital?

Also, I'm not so sure that:

sled var porta
oled var portc

will work the way you want it to.

TRISA = %00110111
TRISC = %00110111 should set the Pins for digital

I'll remove sled and oled and replace with porta, portc

You are talking about the "CONFIG: CONFIGURATION WORD REGISTER"
bit 5 - 0 = RA3/MCLR pin function is digital input. Right?

Now that I need to set the CONFIG REGSTER, any help with the other 15 bits?

Thanks SteveB, I look into these. Great Help guys!
