this project should turn 8 leds on/off according to the binary value the user pressed in his keyboard. my problem is the schematic diagram for this project isn't available. i have no idea where RA2 was connected to which pin of MAX232. it says in the code that it wont continue unless pin 18 goes (im not sure if "btfsc" waits for high or low) so ill just say it's status have had changed.

Code:
switch	btfsc	portA, 2	; Is A2 equal 0? i.e. is switch closed?
; 	goto	switch		; No, so keep checking

second problem is im not sure if MAX232 is okay to use since the author said in the tutorial that a MAX233 was used. maybe this is where all the problem started. I used MAX232 as replacement of MAX233.

the entire code:

after this im heading for nigel's work...
 
That code expects to receive a byte on RA0 and so one of the MAX232 TTL outputs should connect to RA0.

If I was you I would ignore that code and head straight for Nigel's tutorials.

Mike.
 
btfsc = Bit Test F Skip if Clear
hence it waits for a 0 aka LOW which means RA2 should be pulled high via resistor.

what PIC are you using?
 
Nigels Tutorial Would be a walk in the park to use with the 16F84 all you change is the
chip from 16F628 to 16F84 and the fuse setting or config which one you wait to call it. Like this you would change this part
Code:
	LIST	p=16F628		;tell assembler what chip we are using
	include "P16F628.inc"		;include the defaults for the chip
	ERRORLEVEL	0,	-302	;suppress bank selection messages
	__config 0x3D18			;sets the configuration settings (oscillator type etc.)
To this
Code:
	LIST	p=16F84		;tell assembler what chip we are using
	include "P16F84.inc"		;include the defaults for the chip
	ERRORLEVEL	0,	-302	;suppress bank selection messages
	__CONFIG   _CP_OFF & _WDT_ON & _PWRTE_ON & _HS_OSC ;sets the configuration settings (oscillator type etc.) or RC_OSC if thats what your using
And this part
Code:
movlw	0x07
movwf	CMCON	;turn comparators off (make it like a 16F84) remove it  you don't need it
 
AtomSoft im using 16f84. what do you mean by pulled high via resistor?

b80be, i think i have used TX since its caps are 10pf (should they be 33pf?)

so should i replace "_HS_OSC" with what???

a "_TX_OSC" ?

i apologize for the 20 questions guys, you're dealing with a super newbie here.

I was hoping to make these two work (nigel's and the first code).

tumbling down the rabbit hole hehe
 
Here alist of the config bits
;==========================================================================
;
; Configuration Bits
;
;==========================================================================

_CP_ON EQU H'000F'
_CP_OFF EQU H'3FFF'
_PWRTE_ON EQU H'3FF7'
_PWRTE_OFF EQU H'3FFF'
_WDT_ON EQU H'3FFF'
_WDT_OFF EQU H'3FFB'
_LP_OSC EQU H'3FFC'
_XT_OSC EQU H'3FFD'
_HS_OSC EQU H'3FFE'
_RC_OSC EQU H'3FFF'
This tells you which one to use
6.2 Oscillator Configurations
6.2.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC16F84A can be operated in four different
oscillator modes. The user can program two
configuration bits (FOSC1 and FOSC0) to select one of
these four modes:
• LP Low Power Crystal
• XT Crystal/Resonator
• HS High Speed Crystal/Resonator
• RC Resistor/Capacitor
6.2.2 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR/CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT, LP, or HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator
is connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 6-1).

appreciate it be80be for posting the info when i shouldve googled them myself. saved me time. i owe you guys
 
Why would you want a switch in there when all that code is to make a leds show you the binary equivalent of what you pressed on your keyboard
 
i have no idea why theres a switch there. heres my source for that. the schematics are all gone. the url link is wrong but i removed the wrong part still no schematic in the index.

**broken link removed**

you think i can skip the "switch" part?

Atom, i've downloaded it. looks like i need a adobe reader. ill install one after i looked for the cds here somewhere. ty you guys have been a good help really. you guys have been good to me, be80be, Atom.
