CONFUSED! Hey , that means thing are going well

It is kind of a personal preference as to where you set the configs.

If you do not plan on changing them often then the inc file might be the way to go. If you like playing with things or have different applications using the same chip then setting the confis in your code might be better.

If you do set them in the code you will not have to remember how you have things setup when you do an upgrade or something like that.

The MPASM *.inc is also used by the compiler...or is it the assembler?
If you read through it you will see all of the lines that are not commented. Those are used for something somewhere.
