I just got the 16F628s I ordered, and I am trying to come up with a board that will allow me to control 8 LEDs indevidually. I want to be able to use the Inchworm programmer with it and make differnt flash patterns.
I see that Nigel has an 8 LED board in his lessons, but it uses MCLR (RA5) as an output. From searching the forum, it dosn't look like that will work with the inchworm. Can someone verify that thinking?
If RA5 needs to be left as MCLR, would I be best off skipping it and using RA6 and 7 and a B port for the remaining LED? Or would it be best to just use RA0-4 and use 3 of the B ports or does this not really matter?
