The best place to get the configuration string is in the template files. They're located in C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite\Template\Code. The one for the 12F683 is called 12F683temp.asm and contains the following line,

Code:

	__CONFIG   _FCMEN_ON & _IESO_OFF & _CP_OFF & _CPD_OFF & _BOD_OFF & _MCLRE_ON & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT

As I said earlier, the template files are a really good starting point for any project. They even contain the errorlevel -302 as standard!

Thanks guys. I did take care of the CONFIG register in my code manually, but I will change that over to the __CONFIG commands since it is what you all recommend. I just did not like the idea of not seeing what every bit was in the program.

I did use a filter cap in my design, as I am pretty familiar with hardware. Here is my final schematic:

Damn, I over-engineered it again. I had that thought in the back of my head but I just kept designing it like that. I forgot I do not need to get a 0-12V swing on the base.

Thanks, that made the pcb less crowded.

Rube Goldberg would probably appreciate the design (grin).
