[abdool]

Hello to all member .I AM AN ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING STUDENT. I AM IN THE FIFTH YEAR, HAVING GRADUATION PROJECT 2.
I WNAT TO USE PIC16C84 IN TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROJECT. MY TEACHER GIVE ME EPE PIC TUTORIAL KIT TO PROGRAM AND APPLY SOME TUTORIAL ON PIC16C84.
A PROBLEM FACES ME AFTER SENDING A TUTTEST PROGRAM SUCCSESFULLY. THE PROGRAM DOES NOT RUN SINCE NO DIODES ON KIT WAS ON AS MENTION IN REALED MANUAL FOR KIT.
I DID SOME TEST, AND DIODE LIGHT ON AS PROGRM DESCRIBED BUT IN VERY VERY LOW LIGHT IF I PUT GROUND PIN OF PIC16C84 TO FLOW (NO CONNECTION).
HOW CAN I DO THE TUTORIAL ON KIT CORRECTLY TO LIGHT THE DIODE ON PROPERLY? WHY I HAVE TO MAKE GROUND PIN OPEN (NO CONNECTION) TO MAKE DIODES SLIGHTY ON, WHILE IT MAKE FOR ME NO SENSE BECAUSE IT IS GROUND CONNECTION EVEN IN DATA SHEET, IF MY TEST IS CORRECT? CAN YUO GIVE ME WEB SITE HELP ME IN MY PROJECT?
I WILL BE PLEASED IF YOU ANSWER ME SOON TO CONTINUE MY WORK ON PROJECT.
AT END OF THIS FIRST BUT NOT LAST MESSAGE. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I suggest that you post a circuit of your system so we can help you. It is difficult to comment without a drawing. And please use lower case text as upper case is tedious to read.
