Incorrect assumptions about 16F1827 config fuses?

[J. Mark Wolf]

Forgive me if this issue has been beaten to death, but I can't seem to get past it, and I've pored over old posts trying to get it straight.

The 16F1827 device, is apparently not directly supported by the PBP assembler, so I am forced to select "MPASM"as the assembler, otherwise the program won't compile.

My assumption is that MPASM would "like" the "ASM/ENDASM" config syntax in the Blinky program below.

As you can see, just the two lines of config (straight from the .inc file) generates two "overwriting" errors.

If I comment the ASM/ENDASM lines out, and enable the rest of the lines, no errors occur and the LED blinks fine.

Help me understand, please, when this ASM/ENDASM fuse config syntax would be appropriate, and when it would not.

When you set your configs inside your code, you must edit out the defaults that are contained in your c:/pbp/16f1827.inc file. Otherwise, they will try to overwrite eachother, and you will get the errors you got.

(Mpasm is a must with this chip, but it is also the way to go. Most of the includes files written here require it as well).
