PIC16F676 Troubles

[BobEdge]

Hi,

I am having trouble trying to use this pic. I have version 2.33 of PBP. This is the code:

define OSC 20
define adc_bits 10
define adc_sampleus 50
ANSEL = 1 'channel 0 analog all others digital
ADCON0 = 129 'a/d control register setup
ADCON1 = 96 'fosc/64

ctrlv var porta.0

But i get an error when compiling at the ANSEL line.
Am i going to have to upgrade to the latest version of PBP to use this pic (hope not im skint) or am i doing somthing wrong?

I wish to use 20MHz osc, external MCLR, a/d on porta.0, all other pins digital.

Hi Bob,

I'm not sure at all PBP 2.33 supports this new processor ...
and you' ll have to buy an upgrade ...

or is it an "old" 16 F 876 processor ???

Hi Alain,

I have established that I do need a new version to use this pic. Not as pricey as I expected. less than 20 english pounds. If I can get confirmation of purchase from ME Labs that is. Although already having upgraded from PBC I will have paid a total of £320 for PBP (£500 if i cant get any proof of purchase). Not Happy!!!! Am asking myself if it was really worth it. Could have just percevered a little & learned to use assembly at a cost of £0...

Regards

Bob...

I know PicBasicPro is not really given, but I can say one thing: I'd never been using pics for my model planes without it, The result is always as I hope ...
Other Cheaper Basics do not offer so much functions and an open library like this;
also Remember you can add the functions you write to the lib ... better than sub's.

Great tool, no lost time in developpement nor debugging ...

You pay for this saved time ... for NO BUGS , and for MPLAB entire compatibility ...

Remember: on the web, things mostly offer you what you've paid for ...

Hi bob,

You pay in £ ... what about www.selectronic.fr ( licensed distributor ) for PBP ...
costs 265 Euros, update 23 Euros

Have a look to !

Thanks Alain, but i do have a uk distributor. Just need the proof of purchase from ME Labs, I cant find the original invoice. In the past you only had to fax them a photocopy of the manual front cover. But I guess there has been much piracy, so now you need a copy of the invoice...
