It SW is set LED will be turned ON. In SFR windows make PORTA as 00000001

i tried but porta goes "00000000" itself without any action

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

When the PC is pointing to 1st instruction in MAIN then you have to set PORTA as 00000001 in SFR window. Also see if you can see IN_SW in variables window. Try to set it there. For better help zip and post your mplab project files.

Hi,

You need to use Mplab, Debugger , Stimulus - a simple example is shown with your code in the screenshot.

Just Step though your code and Fire the change to pin RA5.

See Mplabs Help, Mplab Sim , Stimulus.
