#87599 - Ouch!
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I have built the above circuit (wirewrapped) and I have a 0.1uF decoupling cap connected to the VCC pin of the 8051. Using the following code sometimes the LED stays on, other times it goes off, but it never keeps flashing.

And in your schematic the use of a FAST-TTL chip can be seen!

FAST-TTL and wirewrapped design is a dangerous combination. Try to avoid fast digital chips, unless you have a proper printed circuit board design using a solid ground plane. And, not only the micro needs power supply decoupling capacitor, but also the 74F14.

Try the much slowlier 74HC14. And look for a good ground signal routing providing low inductivity.

Last word, which shall not at all offend you: Drawing a schematic makes only sense, if every connection is shown. This includes /EA/Vpp pin, Vcc and ground pins and power supply decoupling capacitors.
