[Help] Proton simple program not working

[max]

Hi friends
Here is a very simple led flashing program, when I program the chip with the generated hex file there is no activity, the led is off.

Device = 16F616

Config      IOSCFS_4MHZ, CP_ON, MCLRE_OFF, PWRTE_ON, WDT_OFF, INTOSCIO, BOR_ON

Declare Xtal = 4
Declare Create_Coff = On

Symbol LED = PORTC.3   

 TRISA = %11001111     
 PORTA = %00000000

 TRISC = %11000000     
 PORTC = %00000000

Loop:

 Toggle LED
 DelayMS 1000           
 
 GoTo Loop

Any device with analogue inputs will power up in analogue mode. If you intend to use them as
digital types you must set the pins to digital by using the following line of code: -
Declare All_Digital = True
This will set analogue pins to digital on any compatible device.

This is from Proton Compiler Manual.

If you want to use some pins like analogue you can modify ANSEL register (after Power On Reset, ANSEL is 0xFF) "1" means analogue pin and "0" means digital.



EDIT:
  I simulate your program with "'Declare ALL_DIGITAL = true" and with "ANSEL.7 = 0" and now work. you need to use just 1 instruction line

If you use PDS I think you must set all config registers to a known value, this has been said so many times.
To help you there are known tools to do this, Not to set them is just making a stick to beat yourself up with.

When you compiled the program ....
Did you not see the > Hint [line7] : Ensure that all fuses are placed in the config list, as.........ans so on...

Turn off the power up timer I find this sometimes mess's things up

Turn off the power up timer I find this sometimes mess's things up

why?

When you first start it's a pretty steep learning curve isn't it!

You were close, slightly modded code

Code:

'--------------------------------------------------------------------
'   FLASHER.BAS
'--------------------------------------------------------------------

Device = 16F616

;Config      IOSCFS_4MHZ, CP_ON, MCLRE_OFF, PWRTE_ON, WDT_OFF, INTOSCIO, BOR_ON

Declare Xtal = 4
Declare Create_Coff = On
Declare All_Digital = True

Symbol LED = PORTC.3    

 'TRISA = %11001111     ' TRISA set the state of APort 
 'PORTA = %00000000     ' PORTA is the data either read or write

 TRISC = %00000000      
 'PORTC = %00000000   

Loop:

 Toggle LED
 DelayMS 1000           
 
 GoTo Loop

So, in essense

Let the fuses default untill you need to change them.
The "All digital" takes care of the anologue stuff
You don't need to setup the A port
You don't need the PORTC command to write, the Toggle LED will do that for you.
