    i am doing ' lift control using PIC16F877A'. the connections have been made to the pic and a test program to make a LED blink is given. the LED blinks in a weird fashion.

    i checked the voltage at the output pin for LED and its a floating value....is there any reason for this?? how do i solve the problem??

    What do you mean floating value?
    If turn 'ON' LED with high logic (5V), turn 'OFF' LED with low logic (0V), do a LED blinking offcourse the output voltage neither 0V nor 5V. The voltage is between 0-5V depends on your blinking duty cycle.

    If the blinking rate of the LED is very fast and you are using a normal multimeter to measure the port signal, the value you are reading is the Average of the fast on-off signal from the port. It is better to use an oscilloscope to do measurements.

    Can you please post your Circuit diagram so we can study it... there might be problem in software side.. can you post it also
