| A nice simple test. ''TRISA'' means all the A pins (RA0, RA1, RA2 etc). Setting each bit to 0 in this way means that every pin will be set as an output pin. This means that voltage can be output from the pin to power something. | A nice simple test. ''TRISA'' means all the A pins (RA0, RA1, RA2 etc).
