RA6 & RA7 I/O setting on the 16F88

[PICante]

I tried the “INTRC_CLKOUT” with MPASM it compiled well but still no I/O!
I use the 16F88.inc file as is, not edited.

There must be something I miss here; “INTRC_CLKOUT” does not make sense to me (no offence)! The “INTRC_IO” statement seems more logic to me, of curse I might be of the tracks here but that’s how I see it.

Referring to the 16F88 datasheet page 130 way down;

Bit 4, 1-0 FOSC<2:0>: Oscillator Selection bits.

I believe what I need is the fourth alternative:

“100 = INTRC oscillator; port I/O function on both RA6/OSC2/CLKO pin and RA7/OSC1/CLKI pin”.

Or… am I loosing it? (apart from my hair!)



Thanks guys!

Have you commented out the shebang line in the inc?

This is the last part of my untouched inc file:

That is the inc file from MPASM, do not modify it. That is where you get info about the chip.

The inc file you modify is in the PBP directory. It looks like this.

       NOLIST
    ifdef PM_USED
        LIST
        include 'M16F88.INC'	; PM header
 ;       device  pic16F88, hs_osc, wdt_on, lvp_off, protect_off
        XALL
        NOLIST
    else
        LIST
        LIST p = 16F88, r = dec, w = -302
        INCLUDE "P16F88.INC"	; MPASM  Header
  ;      __config _CONFIG1,_INTRC_IO& _WDT_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF
        NOLIST
    endif
        LIST

Notice the ';' That is a comment for this type of file. The two lines between LIST and LIST with comments are the lines to change or if setting the fuses in code space comment out.

[PICante]

Thanks for your patience Dave!

Well, I commented out the two lines as you suggested recompiled and put the code into the PIC and it froze! Tried a few times and also tried to reset the PIC but noting, stone cold! I opened the inc file, restored it, recompiled the code and it was all back to normal.
I must have my stupid hat on this week, this thing just won’t fly!

[mackrackit]

If you ser the fuses in code space then comment the two lines. Otherwise do like you are in the inc file.

Personally I like to set up in the inc.

Does it work at all now?

[PICante]

I commented out the two lines in the inc file and added the ” @__config _CONFIG1,_INTRC_IO& _WDT_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF” to the code right below the “@__config_INTRC_IO” line but it refuses to compile! I get “[235] opcode expected instead of ‘_hs_osc’” error! ?

If I remove the line it compiles and everything except RA6 & RA7 I/O run perfect as before.

I am confused to say the least!

Thanks for the support!
