    But the manual doese´t shows the default connections for 16F872, what are the defaults for my PIC?

    Can i want use RB1 to RB6 insted och the default or does i have to use pin´s from outher ports?

    btw why does the PIC have diffrent ports like PORTA, PORTB, PORTC..

    And yes i´m new to PIC programing and i have just get my LED to blink when i push a button

    Don't worry, the default one are the same for all PIC model.

    Not sure what you mean

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Actually the manual does show the default connections.......for all PICs!
    If you don't redefine the pins, they'll default to what the manual says, so long as those pins actually exist.

    Can i want use RB1 to RB6 insted och the default or does i have to use pin´s from outher ports?
    In a roundabout way, you can use any pin you want (using DT's ANYPIN routines) for the LCDIN/LCDOUT commands, but I'm guessing that's probably a bit above your skill at the moment. Give it time and anything is possible.

    btw why does the PIC have diffrent ports like PORTA, PORTB, PORTC..
    I suppose they could name them anything they want, just call them 1 thru 30, or A-Z or whatever.
    But, since the PIC16F872 is primarily an 8bit device, it therefore makes a bit more sense to divide up the pins into 8 bit chunks as much as possible to keep the firmware/instructions/etc a bit simpler.
    Quite frankly, you won't see a lot of 6 bit or 13 bit devices out there, or some other off the wall number. Pretty much everything is either 1,4,8, or 16 bits (yes, there are exceptions to the rule, just not a lot).

    And yes i´m new to PIC programing and i have just get my LED to blink when i push a button
    Get on it! Make 2 LEDs blink with 3 buttons... Then make a servo move with the buttons, then make a .... see how it goes?

    Get out while you can! It's a never ending cycle man!!! You'll end up spending all of your money on the latest greatest thing out there!!! Blowing all of your sleep time programming PICs... Lose your money, house, sanity...it's like drugs! It's terrible!!!

    Ok, not really...but you get the point...(as for me, I'll never learn!)

    Hello.

    Now i have connected the LCD as PBP defaults and when i run the PIC with this code the display shown the temerature for 1sec and then it shows "fffffffffffffffffffffff" on both lines for a sec and then shows the temerature again and so on...

    Why?

    Code:
    ' One-wire temperature for LAB-X1 and DS1820
    define OSC 20
    DEFINE LCD_COMMANDUS 2000
    DEFINE LCD_DATAUS 600
    
    temperature Var	Word			' Temperature storage
    count_remain Var Byte			' Count remaining
    count_per_c Var	Byte			' Count per degree C
    
    pause 1000
    
    
    DQ	Var	PORTB.2			' One-wire data pin
    
    	ADCON1 = 7			' Set PORTA and PORTE to digital
    
    mainloop: OWOut DQ, 1, [$CC, $44]       ' Start temperature conversion
    
    waitloop: OWIn DQ, 4, [count_remain]	' Check for still busy converting
    	
        If count_remain = 0 Then waitloop
    
    	OWOut DQ, 1, [$CC, $BE]		' Read the temperature
        OWIn DQ, 0, [temperature.LOWBYTE, temperature.HIGHBYTE, Skip 4, count_remain, count_per_c]
    
    	' Calculate temperature in degrees C to 2 decimal places (not valid for negative temperature)
    	temperature = (((temperature >> 1) * 100) - 25) + (((count_per_c - count_remain) * 100) / count_per_c)
    	Lcdout $fe, 1, DEC (temperature / 100), ".", DEC2 temperature, " C"
    
    	' Calculate temperature in degrees F to 2 decimal places (not valid for negative temperature)
    	temperature = (temperature */ 461) + 3200
    	Lcdout $fe, $c0, DEC (temperature / 100), ".", DEC2 temperature, " F"
    
        Pause 1000                      ' Display about once a second
    
    	Goto mainloop			' Do it forever

    Hi,

    Try this for Waitloop ...
    Code:
    '*****************************************************************************
    ' Check for still busy converting ( ~ 4500 fois ... )
    '*****************************************************************************
    
    waitloop: 
    
    		INPUT DQ
    		If NOT DQ Then waitloop
    AND ....

    Code:
    DEFINE LCD_DATAUS 600
    Should be ...

    Code:
    DEFINE LCD_DATAUS 60

    looks we have the same source !!! ... This one works perfectly aboard a 16F84 ...

    soo ... let's check the 872 config ... AND,AND,AND :


    Wich PbP version do you use ... and has your PBPpic14.lib being modified ???

    There was an interesting thread those days about 1Wire and > 8 Mhz Osc ...

    see here : http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...79&postcount=4

    I use PBP v2.45 and have not modified anything.

    The PIC runs on OSC 20


    Edit: Just tryed to put in a 4 Mhz crystal but i does´t work
