				| help with USB HID bootloader [solved] |

				| Hi, 
 I'm running USB HID bootloader on 18F2550.
 I  trying to modify the USB HID bootloader to use RC6 pin 17 to match my schematic.
 However it seems with my code the condition is always true and it always enters into bootloader mode.
 
 the bootloader code here
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | #define mInitAllSwitches()  TRISCbits.TRISC6=1;
 #define mInitSwitch2()      TRISCbits.TRISC6=1;
 #define sw2                 PORTCbits.RC6
 
 void main(void)
 {
 ADCON1 = 0x0F;
 mInitSwitch2();
 PORTCbits.RC6=1;//if pressed will be 0
 
 if(sw2 == 1)    //This example uses the sw2 I/O pin to determine if the device should enter the bootloader, or the main application code
 {
 ADCON1 = 0x07;
 _asm
 goto 0x1000
 _endasm
 }
 
 InitializeSystem();
 while(1){
 //do something
 }
 
 | 
 I get the code from others, and I'm newbie, not quite understand how to init the ADCON1, what could be the problem?
 
 Thanks,

 rule 9
 Don't Float: Tie the switch pin Hi or Lo with a ~10K resistor or use internal pullups to avoid floating inputs when the switch is open. In general, do something with unused pins don't just leave them floating

				| what if I want to use the internal pull up resistor on portB of 18F2550? Can I have a switch there without a pull up resistor? How to do the settings? |  |

 You need a pull-up resistor (or pull-down) to ensure a constantly driven logic state. A common switch configuration involves a I/O port pin tied to a node with one branching leading to a weak (~10k) pull-up to +V and another branch leading to one side of the switch. The other side of the switch is connected to ground. When the circuit is open, the I/O port will read a "1". When the switch is closed, the I/O port will be pulled to GND and will read as a "0". Without a pull resistor, the floating logic value is...well, not logical
  . 
 See the CCS C function "port_x_pullups()" for how to enable to internal port resistors.
 
 (edit: just saw this in a recent post, more clarification on the pull-up resistors
