Starting with PIC18F

[Gérard]

There are a lot of thread concerning the configuration words for the 18F but nothing sounds definitively clear (in my mind).
Does anybody write a template example for that part of code ?
TKS a lot

Here is a working example for 18F2420...

It WILL give you WARNINGS when used with the latest MPASM but they can for the time being be ignored.

If compiling with a command line such as...

PBPW -p18F2420 MyFile -ampasm -v

The you must first modify the 18F2420.INC file found in your PBP Root directory (NOT the one in the \INC directory). The modification is nescessary to ensure that CONFIG statements are not duplicated, as CONFIG duplication is not permitted within the MPASM Assembler...

Here is the 18F2420.INC file BEFORE it was mmodified...

Rename the original file as something like 18f2420-Original.INC so that if you ever need to revert to it, you can do so easily without reinstalling the whole of PICBasic from your Master Disk.

Thanks for your quick answer Mélanie.

It works better despite I did not modify the .inc files already, except I got some "Overwriting previous adress contents (0000 to 0006..)

I've been heard about something like that in some thread.

Best regards
