Do you have to turn off LVP 16f88

Do you have to turn off LVP to use RB3 as output on 16f88 ? Or do you just need to make sure RB3 is not floating That what it said here but there a part that said to to use a resistor on it to make sure it not floating if you use it as an output.
 
If you use LVP then RB3 is used to switch to programming mode. If you want it to run your code then RB3 has to be tied to ground.

If you want to use it as an I/O pin then you must use HVP.

As you have a PicKit2, which is a high voltage programmer, why are you bothering with LVP?

Mike.
 
Like I said last night I turn off the LVP on the 16f88 didn't need it and I wanted the IO RB3
and it lock the chip. I thought I was using HVP but the new pickkit 2 v2.60 set the programmer to LVP ever time I start it up. And it finds a 16f88. So I'm right in thinking If I
want RB 3 leave LVP off and I'm good to go.
 
You can't "leave LVP off" as the chips come from the factory with LVP enabled (on). You have to clear the LVP bit in the config settings in order to turn LVP off and make RB3 an I/O pin. Just write your code with LVP_OFF in the config settings and RB3 will be an I/O pin like all the others.

Mike.
 
Thanks I know that now after reading the whole datasheet for the 16f88 I did change the
config settings set LVP_OFF. Some one posted here some where not to do that. But I want the I/O on RB3 and that's the only way to get it. Mike do you no of any good howto's on tables. I'm trying to use them for my leds
Code: 
      movlw     TableStart  ; want it to output to portB
              [COLOR="red"]; I don't get what i need here to make it happen[/COLOR]
TableStart:
     retlw     b'00000001'        ; 0
     retlw     b'00000010'        ; 1
     retlw     b'00000100'        ; 2
     retlw     b'00001000'        ; 3
     retlw     b'00010000'        ; 4
     
     end

This is how I do it to read an 8 byte table,

Code: 
GetStep		movlw	high StepTab
		movwf	PCLATH
		movfw	Offset
		addlw	low StepTab
		btfsc	STATUS,C
		incf	PCLATH,F
		movwf	PCL
StepTab		
		retlw	b'1000'	;A+ B0
		retlw	b'1010'	;A+ B+
		retlw	b'0010'	;A0 B+
		retlw	b'0110'	;A- B+
		retlw	b'0100'	;A- B0
		retlw	b'0101'	;A- B-
		retlw	b'0001'	;A0 B-
		retlw	b'1001'	;A+ B-

The above will return the Offset+1'th byte from the table. I.E. if offset contains 2 it will return the third value. Note to use it you have to call GetStep.

Mike.
 
I have tried about the same thing but it didn't show up on portb
Code: 
BinaryToGrayCode:
     
     movlw     high TableStart     ; get high order part of the beginning of the table
     movwf     PCLATH
     movlw     low TableStart      ; load starting address of table
     addwf     temp,w              ; add offset
     btfsc     STATUS,C            ; did it overflow?
     incf      PCLATH,f            ; yes: increment PCLATH
     movwf     PCL                 ; modify PCL
TableStart:
     retlw     b'0000'        ; 0
     retlw     b'0001'        ; 1
     retlw     b'0011'        ; 2
     retlw     b'0010'        ; 3
     retlw     b'0110'        ; 4
     retlw     b'0111'        ; 5
     retlw     b'0101'        ; 6
     retlw     b'0100'        ; 7
     retlw     b'1100'        ; 8
     retlw     b'1101'        ; 9
     retlw     b'1111'        ; 10
     retlw     b'1110'        ; 11
     retlw     b'1010'        ; 12
     retlw     b'1011'        ; 13

You really need to separate your code into identifiable sections. The way your code is at the moment, the delay routine never gets executed because when the movwf PCL executes it jumps into the table. The table consists of return instructions and so it returns to the line after the call GetStep. Place the code I posted earlier at the end of your code and just call it, don't put bits of code in the middle of it. It will then work correctly.

What a way to start the day my shop got flooded. Soaked my computer and all the boards I use for testing had covered in water. The only thing not wet is my pickit2. What makes me the maddest Is all my books are wet to. I was just getting them all back after my ex thew them a way.
 
I tried it like This is this not right . I just want to change portB with a table. so I change what leds light

As you want to change what LED's light from a table, then you might consider checking my tutorials, the first one of which covers just that.

I think everyone that uses micro controllers does this at some point.
Almost all of them start up their I/O lines as inputs. If you see any glow on the LED's it's from the pullups turning on. might be able to see it in a really dark r oom.
 
I tried this still no go It just sets with 1 led lit.
