What type of tool changer do your Bridgeport VMC's have? Side-mount or carousel style?

Hi guys,

Let me get my inexperienced nose into this conversation . But, unless I'm missing something here, there is already a software out there that helps you to set the configuration fuses in your PIC. It is easy to use and you don't need to worry about the INC files or anything like that. This software comes with the U2 Melabs programmers.

But that is not free.

Wow! lots of intrest. I would like to point out while all the solutions presented seem to be great ideas for tending to the config bits, the goal is a total configuration tool.

One step at a time. The configs seem to be the thing that give most folks the most trouble, then ADC, then timers. PicMultiCalc has the timer part covered.

Interesting thread. My 2c worth:

Looking back at a lot of posts from people starting with PICs the most common stumbling block is the port settings, especially with chips like the 12F675 which requires the ports to be set to digital rather than have them digital as standard. It would be useful to simply select the chip, select if you want ADC, etc and then click on the "copy code to clipboard" button like mr-e's pic calc.

Like I said, just suggestions... I'f what ever you guys come up with, if it makes getting started with a new chip easier I'm all for it

Have you ever used this?

Dave, to be honest no !

I know DT has some useful utils / included files, but I've not used that one.

Often, where I gets stumped is when you want a selection of multiplexed pins on one port, you know, the first 4 pins analogue, the next two digital and the remaining something else

[mackrackit]

and the remaining something else

Those are the tricky ones

I understand exactly,
To ANSEL or not to ANSEL...

they all have 22 station carousel. vmc1000/22, vmc760/22 and torque cut 22. I've had the 1000 sinc new,1996. The oters I bought used.

OK, thanks.

Hi, Guys

has someone tried CCS, Flowcode, WIZ-C or The Cypress Psoc Express ???

Worth the look ...

Never heard of them..
What do they do?

Hi, Dave

Those 4 "C" PIC compilers have really really nice advanced config Wizards ... BTW ... I forgave CodeWarrior " Processor Expert " for Moto ... euhhh Freescale processors.

May be CCS is the " Weakest " of all ( but one can add custom peripheral drivers ... shhhht ! ) ... and it's not so bad !!!
WIZ-C is really astonishing ...

Alain,

Do any of them save the configs to code or do they modify the hex at program time?
