Thank you Pommie, this is ...wow...gosh I need to learn more about this.
As you know I am using 16F628A, the programmer software allow me some options for the oscillator and I want to use the Internal Oscillator.
I know that I have to select one of the two:
INTOSC: CLKOUT on RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT, I/O on RA7/OSC1/CLKIN
INTOSC: I/O on RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT, I/O on RA7/OSC1/CLKIN
What is the different between the two ?
As long as they "turn on" the internal Oscillator, I really don't care what other tricks they are doing.
=====================================================================
Sorry, upon closer look, I think I understand what's going on.
I will be choosing:
INTOSC: I/O on RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT, I/O on RA7/OSC1/CLKIN
as I want all the pins for I/O [more LEDs!!!
]
But I heard that PortA.5 of the 16F628A chip is "input only" is that true ?
Meaning there is no way in hell PortA.5 could output a current ?
By the way, what the difference between Data Memory Code Protect [CPD_OFF] and Program Code Protection [PROTECT_OFF] ?
What are they protecting and what are their differences ?
