Pickit2 + microcode

[Darrel Taylor]

I never liked that Auto Import option.

A lot of times I'll hit F9 just to see if it compiles, and what syntax errors I need to fix.
But that makes a new .HEX file and the Auto Import programmes it into the PIC, whether you were ready or not.

I prefer to have control over when the PIC gets programmed.
With the command line interface and MCS ...

Press F9 to Compile
Press F11 to Program
Press F10 to do both

Much better control.

Good point.

When it gets down to working on a big project I do not use MCS at all. So I guess it depends on the project and user.
