I'm having issues!
Hope one of you lovely knowledgeable people can help me!
What is the minimum wiring you can get away with on the 16f874?
I've connected power to both sets of Vdd and Vss, tied Mclr to 5v through a resistor. Also got a 4Mhz crystal (with 2 33pf capacitors) on OSC1 and OSC2.
The problem is that I've put some code on the chip, and at least want to test that I have a clock is working, but don't know what signal to expect from the crystal. As far as I can tell I'm getting virtually nothing (measuring with an oscilloscope).
Really need to get this thing working soon! And this chip is doing all it can to stop me!
Hope someone can shed some light for me!
Thanks, Nick
