sleep mode question

SLEEP


Yes on the RB0 INT, but not on RA0.



Carefully read the datasheet on this stuff, it really matters.  You have to
have INTE set to have it wake from SLEEP on the RB0 interrupt.  GIE will
determine what happens after wakeup (next instruction or branch to ISR).
The instruction following sleep gets executed before anything else.  READ
THE DATASHEET.  :-)

BTW, you should be using something like a 16F88.  It's basically pin
compatible, much cheaper and has way more features.

Thanks for the help

You can also use the other pins on PORTB to wake up from SLEEP by using the
"interrupt on change" feature.  In fact, that's the only time you can rely
on the IOC functionality to not miss any input pin state changes.

Microchip has several application notes with code examples to help you
get started.

AN879 Using the Microchip Ultra Low-power Wake-up Module

This is for the PIC16F684, but you can use a similar approach with any PIC
supporting wake-up on pin change.
