hey there, i really need some help in the general area of PIC 16f877. i am using the PICDEM 2 plus board that comes with the mplab icd 2 in circuit debugger. the code below is a simple code but i am unfamiliar with the coding as i have just started assembly.
what does it all mean?
list p=16F877 #include __CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _HS_OSC & _WRT_ENABLE_ON & _LVP_OFF & _DEBUG_OFF & _CPD_OFF
; '__CONFIG' directive is used to embed configuration data within .asm file.
;***** VARIABLE DEFINITIONS
ctr0 equ 0x20 ctr1 equ 0x21 ctr2 equ 0x22 ctr3 equ 0x23 work equ 0x24

goto mainlo

because i am just trying to display the nightrider effect with the LEDs but its a little more difficult than i thought. any help would be much apprieciated,
