what happened with the Declare PORTB_Pullups

[Yves]

Hello all,

Is Declare PORTB_Pullups not part of Positron anymore? I don't see it in new positron manual. I want to use it for the 16F876A.

Thanks for the info, but the PinPullup Enable, PORTB don't seems to work with the 16F876A though it has this possibility to have weak internal pullup. It is bit 7 on the  OPTION_REG REGISTER but I forgot how to address it. Looking at the spec I have to clear bit 7 to enable PortB pullup.

This is what I would do.
OPTION_REG.7 = 0

Hi,
I have just compiled a program with 4.0.3.3 and it compiles with   Declare PORTB_Pullups = True   in it.

The only mention of  PORTB_Pullups in the manual is it's a "Protected Compiler Word".

But, this thread covers the subject:   https://protoncompiler.com/index.php/topic,665.msg4660.html#msg4660
