Hi guys. I'm quite new in uC programming. I'm using a pic16f877a.
I need to use pin A4 and port E as a TTL output.
Is that possible? What configurations do I need to set?
The only ones I triggered are the ff.
| Code: |
#byte porta=5 /* defines memory location of register */
#byte porte=9 /* defines memory location of register */
set_tris_a(0x00);
set_tris_e(0x00);
|
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps. |

You don't need any of what you have posted.
Just:
| Code: |
output_a(value);
output_e(value);
|
Where 'value' is what you want to output. The compiler does _all_ the nitty gritty stuff for you, setting the TRIS automatically, and outputting the value to the right port.
On your chip, A4, is a 'pull down' pin only. You have to add an external pullup resistor to use it as a normal output.
On portE, make sure you have turned off the PSP.

They might need to turn off the comparators and ADCs
| Code: |
setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC);
