Which PIC runs that?

It's probably just a matter of time...

[dragons_fire]

there isnt any PICs in it... but i took apart a sunroof motor yesterday that im using for another robot, and it has a 16F72 in it...

im still working on this board, i have checked the design twice more, and still dont see anything wrong with it.. when i connect the battery, i get just under 5V (and the PIC is good down too 2v). if i go across any I/O pin and gnd i get 0V and i get the same going from I/O to 5V.....

if the pins were low, i should see voltage between I/O and 5V
and if it was high i should see voltage between I/O and gnd....right??

while i have the programmer hooked up, it goes down to about 2.5V on mclr to gnd, and then when i program, it goes up to 13V. without the programmer, its at 5V

i have tried 3 different OSCs at 2 different speeds, and thats not helping, i know the power supply is good, so it has to be the PIC or the board..
