Hardware Issue

[Sid2286]

Hi,

I have 5 seven segments connected where i'm displaying the analog inputs.
the circuit works fine on ICD2.

however, when I'm placing it on breadboard, m getting display but its all fluctuating. It is not at all constant :(

Please help me

Regards,
Sid

Without schematic or code it's hard to tell but first guess is power supply capacity. I would suggest a minimum of 2 amps at a rock stable 5 volts,with appropriate bypass caps both on the supply and near the PIC on the breadboard.

Other thing - grounds.
The ICD, will give you a nice solid ground and will be connecting back to the PC ground. 'Breadboard', won't.
Make sure you don't have 'daisy chained' grounds with analog circuitry connecting along a ground path where currents for the displays are being drawn.

Best Wishes
