I am using ATmega32 in a 44 pin TQFP package.

I know ..I know .. LDMICRO supports only ATmega32 in a 40 pin DIP package.

Well there is no difference between the two packages such as say the ATmega328 product where one package does not have all the pins the other package has.

SO irrespective of external pin numbering one ought to be able to compile the ladder for ATmega32 silicone and ensure pin functional labels are observed rather than pin numbers .

And so it begins.... I have followed above logic with ATmega8 and ATmega328 ( minus a couple of pins ) with good success.

I applied the same reasoning to ATmega32 with partial success.

The application employs almost all of ATmega 32 pins ( a few pins only to spare).

I am having a problem with a very simple task ( see attached file ) where seven pins are input pins, driven by a dip switch ( inputs are pulled down by a 1Kohm resistor and switches pull inputs high).

Of the seven inputs four are working as expected, three seem to be deaf.

Initially I thought i had damaged input pins so i replaced themicro. No... the problem did not go away and yes the pins see the switches. Pin voltage toggles with the switch.

Pins in question
PC3
PC4
PC5
PC6
PC7
PA7 and
PA6

The first three dont want to play.
