hi all

m designing a circuit using pic16f877a with interbnal adc and mclr pin is conncted directly to +5 volts.
_config 0x290A

now the problem wht m getting is my system gets hanged up whenever i start it, but as soon as i disconncet the mclr pin and reconncet it on +5 volts it starts running properly.

wht circuitry is to be placed on mclr pin of pic16f877a so that i get rid of this hanging problem.

please do help me out
 
Often a resistor is recommended between MCLR and Vdd. 1k-10k is fine.
 
Try enabling power-on timer and the brown-out detect in the configuration fuses. Use the ff. configuration fuse directive instead.

Code:
 __CONFIG _BODEN_ON & _CP_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _WDT_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _HS_OSC

You can start by not hijacking someone else's thread.

Next would be to explain to us how a master student in embedded systems is incapable of starting a relatively simple design on their own.

first of all , i'd like to thank u for the way u start ur message, i am really a master student.... but i try to use pic controller, which we didn't cover in the course , and collect data as i can

i am very good in programming
i 've read the data sheet of pic16f877a, and tried to take the help from u, but thanx, u replied in a very negative way

thanx alot.
