I recently up graded MPLABX to 4.15 and want to move the PB3 toolchain to the new IDE. Question: will I have a choice of programmers, PK3 or the PBP USB programmer? If a program with a pbp. extension is imported into the project will this bring the other files with it? Still trying to get a handle on the integrating of the two. I am willing to rewrite code if it's the only way to move over. I did see the video on the PBP3 site and it didn't get into the details.

I'm not sure there's much benefit in that. I can't really think of any new features you'd get, and if MCSP works for you you'd probably be loosing some.

Thank you for the reply and I agree. I'll hold off on this. The reason is more of convenience. Some older project code is in assembly in the MPLAB IDE.
