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?

Dave,

I don't know about the different software packages that Alain is talking about. But, in case that you might want to know the MELAB programmer software modifies the code at programming time. It does not include the PIC configs in the code that you are writting.

I downloaded the MPLAB C18 demo version and I will be playing with it pretty soon. I will let you if this "C" software has any tools to help you set the PIC configs.

Ok, Dave
... a quick look seems to show they directly produce the full Hex code @ compile time ... ( no intermediate files )

The only one I saw you can easily access the configs values ( Hex given ) for each register is MkE IDE ... ( see some posts above )

A very small start.

I will post a project log and any code used at the above address if anyone want to work on it.
If you have suggestion or code lets play. I will work on it as time permits.

Dave, you are awesome! I see you must be working from an older copy of mplab? I had to update in order to have support for 16f1946. If you want, I can send you my *.inc files.

Ioannis sent the incs from version 8.5 .
I just have not moved them into the project directory yet, ooppss.
Thanks for the reminder.

more from the novice:
Followed the link, played with the button. Not sure how to access the .py scripts. If I right click and choose view source, all I see is the html source for the page. What am I missing?

Well... That is all there is at the moment

The .py that the HTML button page triggers is in red on the first page. The HTML with the button sends info to the .py then the .py produces a web page with the results.

The HTML part that gets it going
form action="/cgi-bin/ChipDrop.py" method="post" target="_blank">
select name="ChipSel">
--SNIP--
Then the Python code picks it up here
# Get data from fields
if form.getvalue('ChipSel'):
subject = form.getvalue('ChipSel')
else:
subject = "Not entered"

So all I have is the HTML and one py script to display the config options.
BTW.
I used this to help generate the HTML. No way I typed all of that..

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import re
import string
path="fileS"  # insert the path to the directory of interest
dirList=os.listdir(path)
for fname in dirList:
    str = fname
    tx = str.strip('.INC');
    sep = ''
    list = ['<option value="fileS/',str,'">',tx,'</option>']
    print sep.join(list)
