Post by thread:[PIC]: Difference in portb between 16f873 and 16f8

I had a strange thing happen yesterday. I couldn't get portb,3 to go high on a 16f872. I tried 2 of them in case one was damaged but got the same problem with both. I stuck a 16f873 in and it worked fine. Is there a difference I don't know about. Could I have received a bad lot from DigiKey?

Check your fuse setting and connect RB3 as appropriate, ie pull it low if LVP is enabled. -- Best regards Tony mICros http://www.bubblesoftonline.com salesKILLspambubblesoftonline.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam.....mitvma.mit.edu
