Thanks so much for this, Bruce. I downloaded the zip and installed the files per the readme.txt, but in the process I have some questions:
1) The readme was pretty explicit except it didn't say where in my file folders to place the vbskfr2.DEP file....can you tell me??
2) As I understand it, the code in the zipped files is for an 18F4550, yet I see an 18F4450.INC file included in the zip.....how come? I would just use a 18F4450 except it has no on chip EEPROM which I need for the data logging I am doing. It is also a very old file (6/5/06) for version 2.47 so I presume I shouldn't replace the one in my PBP folder that is 09/12/08 Version 2.60 which I am using.
3) I notice in the LABXUSB.inc file that the CONFIGS for an 18F4550 are listed for use with the bootloader but are commented out, so I presume it is using default CONFIGS for a 18F4550???
4) I am programming my chips with a PICKIT2 rather than bootloader, so not sure what I have to do to the CONFIGS that are listed????
5) I also notice that the 18F4550.bas file included in the zip is an older version for 2.46 (12/31/04) than the one in my PBP folder that is dated 9/12/08 for 2.6, ....and the older version has following files commented out:
BANKA $0000, $005F
BANK0 $0060, $00FF
BANK1 $0100, $01FF
BANK2 $0200, $02FF
BANK3 $0300, $03FF
'BANK4 $0400, $04FF
'BANK5 $0500, $05FF
'BANK6 $0600, $06FF
'BANK7 $0700, $07FF
'EEPROM $F00000, $F000FF
'LIBRARY "PBPPIC18"
LIBRARY "PBPUSB18"
include "PIC18EXT.BAS"
PORTL VAR PORTB
PORTH VAR PORTC
TRISL VAR TRISB
TRISH VAR TRISC
include "PBPPIC18.RAM"
In the newer version this is the equivalent list and nothing is commented out:
BANKA $0000, $005F
BANK0 $0060, $00FF
BANK1 $0100, $01FF
BANK4 $0400, $04FF
LIBRARY "PBPPIC18"
include "PIC18EXT.BAS"
PORTL VAR PORTB
PORTH VAR PORTC
TRISL VAR TRISB
TRISH VAR TRISC
include "PBPPIC18.RAM"
USBMEMORYADDRESS Con $400 ' USB RAM starts here
I presume since I am using PBP v2.6 compiler that I should not replace the 18F4550.bas file in my PBP folder with the one from the zip?? Should I comment out and of the BANK statements or change the LIBRARY to the one listed in the old file?
Really appreciate your advice on this.
