i bought some new pic 12f508 chips for a project and found that i could not output on pin 2 , i have looked on various forums and tried all the answers i could find but none worked , i have included the program so you can see what i have and tell me where i went wrong please .


Code:
                                ;   GP2 Test program
            list     p=112f508

Line 39 loads GPIO with 0 then goes to delay and does that again. 0x18 does get incremented, and eventually moves to GPIO, but how long does the delay work out to be? The flash may be too quick.

What happens if you implement lines 40 and 42 and forget about line 38?

Have you stepped through the code in a simulator?

thank you for replying , line 39 is out putting contents of 0X18 which is just a counter , that peice of code works as i have LEDs on all 6 pins and only GP2 and GP3 dont work and GP3 is an input only pin but i had to try it , 40 and 42 do nothing .

in the simulator the option reg always goes to 0X00 but that shouldnt effect GP2 and everything else seems to work as it should that is GPIO is counting up , the delay is slow enough that i can see GP0 , GP1 , ? ,X , GP4 , GP5 , i have also tried turning the LEDs around and connecting to positive , still no change on GP2 .

ok , im back again , when i switched to simulator i didnt read the warning and tried to use the chip which didnt work so switched to mplab sim to get results , when i switched back to programmer i got this -
PICkit 3 Connected.
PK3Err0045: You must connect to a target device to use PICkit
3.

The target has invalid calibration data (20).

i then did this
Programming...
Programming/Verify complete

and all outputs now work , any idea why something changed , i tried three chips and no GP2 out then a slight goof and this one works , i have been trying for days to get this working .

thank you for all replys , i wouldnt have tried sim and then made a booby that destroyed calibration code at 0X1FF which made the GP2 pin work as output (yes really) , i tried the same using the on chip sim and ignored warnings again and when i go back and reprogram the chip GP2 worked as output , when i tried using pickit3 to reset calibration data GP2 stopped working as output , 0X00 , 0X1F worked (didnt try all just a few) but 0X20 stopped again and the original value was 0X26 , hope this info helps some in the future.
i still dont know what is happening , just that it is :)

If you had given a decent description of the problem, as in your post #6 originally, we might have been of more help.

I started with the 12F508 many years ago and am quite familiar with it. I used the osc. calibration to fine tune it. Obviously, you realized that GP3 is input only. As for the correction in code, I am anxious to see it.

im back , one last time , i will put up the whole code again but it is only a small change :)

it is in post number 10 , i just added a MOVLW 0 after the MOVWF osccal , i still dont know how or why the W reg affects anything to do with the output but at least it works now . :)
