    The Proton guys had developed something that did all the above and more. Unfortunately, I cant seem to find the installable anymore on the net.

    And it could do only 16Fxxx.

    The developed header was of course for the Proton, but could easily be adapted for PBP.

    Seems that program has disappeared. I only found one thread mentioning it on the Proton forum. Looked like it was from the writer but the link was broken.

    Yes, I noticed that.

    I have it installed on my system, but dont seem to have the original installable. However, it does seem to be a portable app, as it works on any PC I copy that folder to.

    It was a free utility, so I can mail it to anyone who is interested; its about 3 MB in size.

    Regards,

    The Proton Header Maker looks close to what I think we are after. Thanks for the screen shot, looks like a nice layout to shoot for.

    ???

    just like other download sites : OR you pay OR you wait a while ( was 1 mn for me ...)

    You even do not have to register ...

    That said, this wizard is nice ... his PBP dedicated brother would be THE Thing ... to make lots more lazy users ...

    @Dave, It is in fact free to download, you do have to wait for the timer to run out.

    I have downloaded it and it is in fact pretty much just what I am wishing for. I think its a great example! Doesn't seem to support all the chips, but the layout is pretty nice. Well and of course it is for proton not PBP!

    Count me in for Lazy!! I love coding, but HATE housekeeping!

    Thanks for fishing that out, Alain.

    Now to wait till one of the geniuses here create a PBP version...

    I've started working on a stand-alone PBP header-wizard program and it's bringing some questions to light...

    Right now it parses the .inc files for the selected PIC (if they're not in the default locations on you computer you have to set the paths). From the MPASM files it parses out all of the provided configuration settings, and from the PBP folder it parses out the current default configuration settings.

    In thinking about where to go from here, there are at least a couple of chips that do not appear support any sort of _CONFIG. __config, or whatever statements. A prime example is the 18F67J50. You're forced to use something like, for example "CONFIG FOSC = HSPLL".

    Now putting the line "@ CONFIG FOSC = HSPLL" in a blank program compiles just fine so long as the the CONFIG lines are remmed in the PBP include file. However, when it gets put at the top of a working program it causes all sorts of warnings and errors to appear and the configuration settings do not get transferred to the programmer.

    So, is it even possible to put in-line config settings in this class of device? Is the only option to edit the PBP include file?

    Thanks for your time...

    Best Regards,
    Paul

    That sounds great!

    I can get it to compile using something like this at the front of a large program, even with some includes thrown in for the PIC18F67J50. And I see the change in my PicKit2 programmer. (Doing so with PBP inc files configs remmed out).

    Code:
    asm
    CONFIG XINST = OFF
    CONFIG PLLDIV = 5
    CONFIG WDTPS = 512
    CONFIG CPUDIV = OSC1
    CONFIG FOSC = HSPLL
endasm

or:


@ CONFIG XINST = OFF, PLLDIV = 5, WDTPS = 512, CPUDIV = OSC1, FOSC = HSPLL

    See Bruce's post here: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...3087#post13087

    There are some issues with other newer chips though. For instance the PIC26J50 uses OSC instead of FOSC, which really throws a wrench in the works. (See semi work around here: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...0854#post90854 ) If anyone wanted to get fancy: If it was one of the chips that required a change to the pbp .inc file .... It could ask you "would you like me to edit your 18F26j50.inc file?" That would be so much nicer than looking through the list of chips, finding it, commenting other stuff out, and entering new settings, then hitting save. Don't know how many other chips we are talking about here though.

    I am not sure if it helps, but here is a PDF with a lot of chip's configs:
