PIC16F690 port B

[Pete]

Going through Chuck Hellebuyck's book 2 chapeter 10 driving stepping
motors. Understand it all and it works fine. Try to change the
output port from C to B in order to free up the 8 pins in port c for
something new. I wrote:

PORTB = 0x00;
TRISB = 0x00'

case 1;
RC4 = 1;
RC5 = 1; etc.

and changed the "switch" steps to port B. Nothing works. I don't
understand why. Is there something about port b that is hard to
understand?

Sincerely,
Pete Lefferson

Is there an ANSELB on the chip you are using?

You may need ANSELB = 0;

[Rufus]

Checked the Data sheet. B4 and B5 are AN10 and AN11.

If you're not using analog, use:

ANSELH = 0;

Oops, never mind. Data sheet says ANSEL doesn't disable outputs....

Thank you so much for thinking about my problem. I solved it. So simple
! It was a bit setting.

God bless,
Pete Lefferson

Again I thank you. The chip has a million switches that must be set
carefully. At least this has be a study of the chip.

God bless,
