Use your LEDsIndicate phases of program operation by illuminating LEDs. In particular a lot of electrical faults cause the PIC to resst. The first thing your code should do is illuminate a "startup LED" for 100mS. If you see that flashing repeatedly, you'll know your PIC is reseting.
Runs with ICD unit attached, only Make sure you are not in debugger mode. Try adding the NOBROWNOUT fuse at the top of your code.
