Just a while ago I was working on the POV project, but because of a problem that I didn't mention earlier I had to pause the project and work on other projects. At that time there was one pin that wouldn't give an output or take an input no matter which 16f877a chip I tried. I thought the source of the problem was in the programmer that I was using.
Today, while reading through the 16f8xxa data sheet, I found out that all I had to do was disable the LVP (Low Voltage ICSP) which is on by default and disables IO through RB3 on all pics in this model.
Now I can do this just with PORTB.
However, I will continue my work on the IR project.
