Let me know if I am missing something. I have an 8051. I have tried Reset connected to ground and being open. I just wanted to test things. So I am having port 0 turn on and off. I am using keil c compiler, so I doubt it is the code. I am using the MaxLoader program to program the chip. When I power it though all bits are high and remain high. Which I think is the default option. I am a PIC hobbiest that is trying 8051.
If there is a source for a step by step guide that would be useful too. I have a book, and it seems like my setup should be working. Thank you.
