I am so frustrated!!!!! I purchased the DT001 programmer, and am using it
with Pic16Pro Light to program a 16F84. For the circuit, I have copied the
"Circuit for Experiments" on page 16 although I am not using everything.
Here is a basic description of the circuit. I am using a 4MHz resonator
center pin to ground, one pin to osc1, the other to osc2. I have LEDs with
long lead tied to portb through 680 ohm resistors, the other tied to
ground. For the reset circuit, I have MCLR tied to 5v through a 100 and
10K ohm resistors. A switch drops MCLR to ground through the 100 ohm
resistor. The program I am using is as follows.
;======Pict1.asm==========================================1/09/2000===========
list p=16f84
radix hex
include <p16f84.inc>
__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _XT_OSC & _PWRTE_ON
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; cpu equates (memory map)
portb equ 0x06
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
org 0x000
start movlw 0x00 ;load W with 0x00
tris portb ;copy W tristate, port P
;define outputs
movlw 0x0f ;load W with 0x0f
movwf portb ;load port B with contents
;of W
circle goto circle ;done, just loop
;
end
Now, I can use Pic16Pro light to erase, program, verify the 16F84 in the
DT001 programmer. Don was nice enough to help with the setup of Pic16Pro
light software for use with the programmer. Now, when I put the 84 in the
circuit and power up, nothing happens.
Does anyone have any clues?
Thanks,
Brian

Another thing you may try is to unbalance the resonator. Sometimes they
won't start oscillation. Put a resistor (maybe 5k - 10k) from one end pin to
ground. Alternately try a low value ceramic capacitor.

Are the leds correct way? if wrong way then tey will no light up.

hi a couple of thoughts for you
slightly modified program now uses bank switching for TRIS
a good habit to get into for the bigger micros
;======Pict1.asm==========================================1/09/2000=========
==
list p=16f84
radix hex
include <p16f84.inc>
__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _XT_OSC & _PWRTE_ON
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
; cpu equates (memory map)
portb equ 0x06
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
org 0x000
goto start
start bsf STATUS,5 ;change to bank 1 portb tris reg
movlw 00h ;load w with 0
movwf TRISB ;set direction to output
bcf STATUS,5 ;back to bank 0
clrf PORTB ;clear any spurious data on portb
movlw 0x0f ;load W with 0x0f
movwf PORTB ;load port B with contents
;of W bits 0 to 3
circle goto circle ;done, just loop
end
pic checks
+5v to pin 14
0 v to pin 5
resonator across pins 15 + 16 with load capacitors to 0 volt
something around 22pf will be quite happy
pin 4 mclr pullup resistor to + 5v 1k is quite happy
make sure the led is working before connecting to pic
one less thing to worry about
i have the circuit running but i'm using an xtal but its all happy
give it a try
all the best chris
make sure the LEDs are the correct way around !!! :-)
Try one which goes to Vcc instead of to PIC. If it lights you are OK - will
light of course when PIC pin goes high.
If it doesn't light like this then the PIC will also not succeed :-).

Why? What's wrong with concise, efficient programming using all
features of the processor to best advantage? Can you name a PIC on
which TRIS does not work?

BECAUSE
The data sheet (OK some data sheets ;-)) say you shouldn't. It's bad enough
doing things that the data sheet doesn't actually mention (but that you just
KNOW that you really shouldn't) without actually doing things that they
recommend against. That said, I'd use TRIS - also probably 2 digits for year
dates if the year was 198x or thereabouts :-) - such efficient practices
help keep people on their toes if the code lasts longer than expected :-) .
Nothing like guaranteed employment for us by-then geriatrics, sniffing out
bugs of our own making.
>Can you name a PIC on

Yes - the 16F977 - to be announced later this year and available early next
year and ...
Or perhaps the 16F877b die shrink plus improvements, or ...
