I have recently finshed programming a PIC16F84A, which is working perfectly on a PIC Test board, however I have tried to make a PIC Board of my own and can not get the PIC to work. I have port A set as inputs and Port B as outputs (wired up), And pins 14 to + v's and pin 5 to ground what else do I need to connect, and do i need an external clock, (I have the clock setting set to XT)
 
Pin 4 (MCLR) should have a 5 -10k resistor to 5v.

A 4mhz xtal on pins 15 and 16 will help...
 
If you want the PIC to work like it does on a PIC test board then you need to make your board the same as the test board.

Watch the reset pin!

You need to look up "XT" and see what it means. OR You could rip out the clock on the PIC test board and see what happens.
 
A crystal only has two pins, if you have three then it is probably a ceramic resonator. I would start by reading the datasheet for your PIC and your oscillator.
 
1 and 3 go to the pic whilst the middle goes to the ground...
 
What pin.... Pin4?... This should be 5v.. there is internal capacitance, so if a 5k resistor is used the Vdd climbs to 5v slower than the power pin... I AWAYS use a 10k just to be sure..
