Hello Chris, Still, I didn't get the clock to work. Can you please check the configuration words? The current ones in my processor: word 1 = 3FA9 and word 2 =...
... Sorry for the delay, had to go away for a few days of work Guus, my programmer has two 'fuse words' which I suppose must be the configs. For an HS...
Hello Chris, No problem. It's a hobby. The 16F88 stil doesn't work. I've tested a number of combinations, no success. Once I press the button, the word "clock"...
I looked for answers in the files section, but didn't see the info. So I'm posting here. First, the assembly instructions say to see Figure 2 for a list of ...

Hello Chris, Thanks for the reply and the offer. Stil, there's a misunderstanding. I do have an encoder, but there's no switch in it. So choosing in the menu...
