I need help on the code above. I've configured RB0 as input but it doesn't respond if I connect it to ground (0). My sample code above starts counting while RB0 = 0 and stops when it's High. The port has a pull up resistor 4.7K.

I would re-check the option reg, also make sure you select the right PIC device. If you reverse the logic on the PortB.0 = 0 to a PortB.0 = 1, does the rest of the program run correctly? What PIC are you using?

Im using the obsolete PIC16f84a. I have a bunch lying around so I'm trying to utilize them. Reversing it works fine, but I cant get it to 0 after. If i change it to Portb.0 = 1 then it works, but can't stop it by connecting it to the ground. Actually I don't fully understand the Option_reg. I was just copying from other samples.
