Setting PortB.7 as output on 16F627/8/48

Geez,
Forgive my confused last post. I was swapping things again. It's tough looking at the world through an upside down brain.

SO I got in there with my test probes and I had also mis-read my PCB traces. It's actually PortB.1. Really! I checked 3 times this time.

So is there some kind of register thing that I need to configure that as an output? It is the RX pin for hardware serial... is that a clue?

Sorry for the confusion.

Cold up there in MAINE, Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
Upside down brain . . . Here in KaliForeignYa people have added dimensions to that, cause 80% of the folks here (at least those who drive) are looking out of their . . . Backsides. You're doing alright ! Use the portB.1 = 1, or PortB.1 = 0 and I am pretty sure it will work.

Thanks for the ideas, I swapped out the chip and it works, musta blown the output drivers when poking around with test probes. My blinky is working, I'm a happy camper!

Yeah, I'm a California ex pat. Today it's 32F and snowing, headed for 0F tonight. Mainah's have an expression: "If you don't like the weathah, wait 20 minutes".
