ICD & PBP && how to get it to work

[Byte_Butcher]

I don't think MCS+ ICD is smart enough to yank variables from include files. That + ZERO support is
why I no longer use, nor recommend, MCS+ ICD.

pssst... so... just between you, me, and that lamp post over there... What do you use and recommend?
I'm not looking to jump ship any time soon, but it's nice to know what other folks are using and why they like it.

If I need to know specific timing for time critical routines, I'll use MPLAB/MPSIM software simulation. Testing on hardware, I just build it & test the code on the hardware it's going to run on. Haven't seen any software yet that acts 100% the same as hardware..;o)

MCS+ ICD used to be a pretty cool option, but support for it seems to have dropped off the planet.

Thanks Bruce,

Actually, I've never used ICD. (been to lazy to figure it out I guess )
I just "build the hardware and run it" and if I've got a extra few pins I'll connect a LCD display so that I can show the values of select variables.

Just curious what the "experienced users" use. Thanks!
