Anybody knows on what's new with the latest version 3.0 of Microcode Plus?

Thanks

I assume some other enhancements must habe been included, no?
I could'nt find a detailed version history on MECANIQUE's site.
Is there any?

I'm not sure just what has been changed other than being Vista compatible, but I'm sure once they find time, they'll update the history page.

Bruce,
Thank you for the swift reply. I tried to click the Online Updates when inside the Microcode environment and it shows that it is connecting with final comment at the right bottom bar 'No new updates'.
I just don't understand it looks to me that their online update isn't really working. Have you tried it?
Btw, I have the microcode plus 2.3.0.0 and I'd like to have it updated through its online update button.
Thanks

As far as I know only the free version is out. Im guessing a little more time
& preparation goes into the paid version before it gets released or announced.
Patience...;o}

Bruce, thanks I believe you're in close contact with them since you market their product. Don't forget to send a note in this forum when the paid version is ready for released through online.

You should be able to update MCS+ using the online update now.

Hi,
I've bought the PICKit2 from MICROCHIP and received also a 16F690. Well, since it's here, let's try it ;)
I'm using MicroCodeStudio v3 and this chip is in the device list.
After looking at the chip's bibel and the P16F690.INC file from MPLABS, I established the fuse list in the editor.
Unfortunately, I always get errors "undefined symbol xxx" when compiling where xxx are four fuse settings appearently not recognised by MCS.
This is probably a syntax error on my side but I don't know where I can find this information.
Does anyone know?
NB: can't get any answer from MECANIQUE... :(

Post your config settings. I use this one a lot. It's the controller for our
new serial LED display module.

Hello Bruce,
Here is my fuse list. I could correct two fuses since my last post.
There are only two fuses not beeing compiled (bolded) without error in MCS at this moment.
' Fuses
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,FCMEN_OFF
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,IESO_OFF
'@ DEVICE PIC16F690,BOR_OFF
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,CPD_OFF
'@ DEVICE PIC16F690,CP_OFF
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,MCLR_OFF
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,PWRT_OFF
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,WDT_OFF
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT
If possible, can you explain how anyone can do this by himself?

Bruce,
I just found the syntax for the last two fuses.
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,BOD_OFF (instead of BOR_OFF)
@ DEVICE PIC16F690,PROTECT_OFF (instead of CP_OFF)
Still don't know how to find this out without chance...

Hi flotulopex,
The only way to know which config fuse options you can use the the PM
asembler & the @ DEVICE options is to look in the PBP header file.
They don't always follow the Microchip device header file naming conventions,
so it's always a good idea to look at the PBP device header file 1st to know
which options are available.
