Disabling reset input

Post by echase »

If I connect the reset pin (RA3 normally) to a normal switch or digital input does Flowcode completely disable the reset function on this pin so that putting a Lo on the input never causes a reset?

Or is it disabled only after the first/when an input command is reached? I.e. if I put a capacitor and resistor on this pin to provide a start up pulse and add a delay command longer than this pulse as the first line of Flowcode will this provide a reset, then the pin later becomes a normal input?

You might say it’s unnecessary to do a reset like this as I imagine the IC resets every time it’s turned on anyway.

Hello

Reset functionality of the MCLR reset pin is controlled by the chip configuration. Use the expert settings and see what options you have for MCLR.
