				| Hi, I am trying to enable the internal weak pullups  on a pic 12f683 but am not having any luck. I have tried the following code but it does not seem to work. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Many thanks. andrew

				| Use the port_a_pullups() function for this.  Note that the parameter is a bit mask.  A '1' bit means that the pullup for the specified pin is
 enabled and '0' means it's disabled.   You can only enable pullups for
 pins GP0, 1, 2, 4, and 5 (not GP3).  Example:
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | #include <12F683.h>
 #fuses INTRC_IO, NOWDT, MCLR, PUT, BROWNOUT
 #use delay(clock=8000000)
 
 //=============================
 void main()
 {
 
 port_a_pullups(0b00000101);  // Enable pullups on GP0 and GP2
 
 while(1);
 }

				| hi have tried this and it does not seem to work either i am using compiler version 4.014 is this command compatible with this version.I am simulating the hardware in proteus ver7.2  many thanks for the help

				| What's not working, exactly?  Compiler error message, or WPUs not appearing to work?  I have been using weak pull-ups on 12F683s for quite a while, every compiler version I've used has done it properly.  Can you post your code? |  |

				| Yes. Obvious comments are:
 
 Won't work on pin A3.
 They are _weak_ can be as low as 50uA.
 Remember pins have to be programmed as inputs (default), before they work. This includes turning off the ADC, and the comparator on the pins.
 
 Best Wishes

				| when in doubt - my favorite 100ua pullup ( or down) technique is a 47K resistor from the pin to Vdd ( or Vss) 
 then ANY pin can have a pullup(down) from the instant of power on
 
 - just don't do that to a programming mode pin
   
 sorry i couldn't "resist" commenting

 The .LST file code is basically the same as 4.099.   It should be working.

 It's either Proteus or your design that's causing the problem.
 Or, something in your larger program (that you're not showing us)
 including possible compiler bugs (vs. 4.014) for that code.
