Hi Brett,
in your how to you sayselect INTRCI/O
where in the files from Robs site hes says to select INTOSC:I/O on RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT,I/O ON RA7/OSC1CLKIN
Intosc:io is internal osc and it makes the osc pins input or output. What happens is once you make a new project and copy ans paste the code into the IDE by default it is set to HS_osc. the circuit is not setup for a external osc. So you have to make sure you set the config fuses accordingly.In this setup you don't need Master Clear enabled.If it is and you don't tie that pin high the pic will just sit there.So its easier to disable it.Brownout detect is if the pic sees less than 2 volts it sleeps or something.Again something that is not needed.
