Thanks mackrackit. Wow! That is clunky (compiling in MCS/PBP and then importing the hex file into MPLAB and programming the PIC18 on the Explorer 18 board), but it works. And it's a pain. I hope there's a better way because I really would like to use MPLAB and not bother with MCS. I don't see the advantage of using MCS since I can't program the PIC 18 chip in the Explorer 18 board in MCS. MCS seems useful only as an editor and compiler to make hex files.


But thanks again mackrackit!
