Hi all....
I have taken over a project from someone else who was using a different programmer than me. Same code, but when I program it the code executes VERY...VERY slow... any thoughts??
The code works fine, just it is in like slow motion....
Thanks
Hello Frozen001,
Without seeing the code, or knowing the PIC you are using . . .
Probably the main OSC is not working, and it is running on backup OSC I. E. FSCM
Fail Safe Clock Monitor, likely your friends code has no config fuses set and they did that manually in the programmer
The PIC is an 18F8722, with a 20MHz external clock...Quote:

I don't think the config fuses are going to be recovered from the hex when you read a chip, though I might be wrong. In using ICPROG it has available the option to set the fuses in the programmer, if the chip doesn't know about the EXT. OSC, it will run on what it finds inside, again FSCM . . . , have you verified the ext. OSC is working ?Quote:

Is there a way to ensure the compilier uses local copies rather than the ones in the path?
I always put the Config settings in my source code, the compiler appends it to the hex and it is set for you when you open the file in the programmer.
