Hello,

So I installed the new upgrade for PBP with the new MPLAB 8.33 included on the install disk. I was able to compile PBP v2.60 code properly, using the MPLAB IDE environment (after changing my system path variables). However, when I try to use MCSP, instead of getting the box that looks like this:

I get this box:

In MCSP, I have set the location for the assembler to the directory that mpasmwin is in. It is set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPASM Suite

Thanks

Microchip changed the default behavior of MPASMWIN recently. The new PBP plugin controls this in MPLAB, but it has changed the assembly display in MicroCode.

The black screen in MicroCode is normal behavior at the moment. The compile/assembly is still valid.

Mecanique was affected by the recent changes Microchip made, as were we. Mecanique is also tasked with updating the interface to match the new version of PBP. The new PBP commands and keywords won't be highlighted in color for now.

There are no problems with the functionality of MicroCode and PBP 2.60. The only issues involve screen display, and these do no impede compilation at all.

Mecanique is aware of the changes that have been made. I patiently await a MicroCode Studio update, with much appreciation for the efforts of David Barker and Mecanique.

Adding Info:

I still have MPLAB 8.10, MPASM 5.20, and I don't get that window.
Everything works fine.

Well, except for the configs for an 18F14K50 which don't match the PBP .inc file.

Maybe they fixed them in later versions of MPASM?

I just checked in saved versions:

Microchip changed the progress bar default in MPASM 5.30 (MPLAB 8.20).

The 18F14K50 header file was changed in MPASM 5.22.

AH HA!
There's the answer! http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

I think I'll pass on the MPLAB upgrade for now, and just comment the configs in the .inc.

Thanks a lot Charles.
