LEDs blink by themselves on PIC32-PINGUINO-MICRO

[wimp#1]

Hello, All.

I have trouble with RE0..RE5 on my PIC32-PINGUINO-MICRO. I set them to output, light some LEDs on them, and the LEDs start blinking individually by themselves!

Here is my sample code. I have cut-andpasted in some code from the Microchip manual "Section 13. Parallel Master Port (PMP)", since I realized it is a Parallel Master Port, but it still blinks.

Any suggestions as to make them not blink?   The LEDs are connected through resistors to +3V.

Best regards

Hey wimp#1,

What LEDs are you using? Maybe you should try with smaller LEDs.
