Hi all,

I am trying to use MPLAB 8.80, PicKit3 and PICBasic Pro 3 to debug some simple PBP 3 basic code in a PIC16F690.

I have my PBP 3 code compiling and working in MicroCode Stuido and MPLAB..... but can not get the debugging working

Using MPLAB traditionally with C or ASM... I am required to select the TAB in MPLAB for debug or release mode.... yet there is no TAB when PBP3 code project is used.

What steps have I missed? OR is there no debugging options with these set of tools?

Thanks in advance Joseph
