Customize PIC18F452

[Hihi]

hello... i patch up a PIC18F452 circuit on a breadboard to test out the circuit before making a PCB board... Can i ask if i already program my code into the PIC18F452 chip and place it on the breadboard with all other component.. Do i need to manually trigger(adding a button etc..) the chip to start running the code once i power up the whole circuit or it will run on its own??

assuming you have its clock running ( whether internal or external)

i have noticed as soon as you disconnect MCLR from its programming line, it starts runnung .
