Re: microcontroller picking up noise?
If your PIC works fine with batteries and not with a power supply, you probably need to filter your power supply. Just hook up a .1 uF and a 10 uF capacitor between the power leads of the PIC. This solves most noise problems I've had working with PICs. The other thing is make sure that your power supply actually supplies 5V.
