Self update of devices

[Ioannis]

Sorry my dear friend, I guess I missed that post! I also did not notice that there is new patch for the compiler. Sure I will update soon. Now where did I put that receipt....

One more. I tried to edit the .ini file in the Microcode studio directory,but seems it has no effect on the menu selection. It still shows the same PICs as before the edit. Any tip on this?

Thanks,
Ioannis

I just tried it myself here and, it seems the latest version of MCS don't care if you add device in the pic.ini list. So in theory, MCSP should scan the .INC file in your PBP folder and build a list automatically.

Hm, intersting. Yes, it searches the PBP file for the *.bas of the relevant PIC and not the .inc.

I made a copy of file, changed to *aa.bas and voila! It showed up in the drop down list.

This means that when you update the PBP Compiler, you have Microcode already updated!

Nice.

I'm using PICBASIC PRO™ version 2.45. Is there a way to add support for the PIC16F727? I don't see it in the drop down in MCS 3.0.0.5.

You could try creating your own INC and BAS files - you 'might' be lucky and that could be all that was needed... but more complex features may have required changes to the core compiler itself. Try it and see... but upgrading is so cheap anyway, treat yourself to a Christmas prezzy...

Not quite relevant to this thread, but it does concern Microcode Studio Plus. I've been using the 16F88X chips quite a bit, and would love to see MCSP ICD support for these. I wrote to Mecanique a couple of times but got no response.

There was a thread pertaining to this issue http://www.letbasic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4945 where David gave a link for an updated set of ICD files, but although the 16F88Xs are listed, they do not exist in the actual download.

Is there a way to add this support oneself?

Which compiler do you refer too??
