    1st praise - excellent so far
    2nd requests
    - instead of just giving me an error when mpasm cant be found, can it bring up a file dialog to find it?
    - can we have a browse button to get the path to mpasm?
    - after setting the path, reload to populate. (now it requires exit and restart)
    - request or bug, depends on you. can't type a part number in direct. error right away. (file not found)

    3rd bugs
    - so far all I see is tris sets the port, and initial state sets tris. port g on 16f1947 tris and portl are correct. only 5 pins for G, maybe thats it?
    - tried it with a 16f676, device has 12 I/O a0..5 and c0..5 wizard configures for 8 and 8. gets the names correct.
    - initially on startup, "select device" text is not there. if I max the window, its there.


    Overall awesome! Looking forward to more!

    PROBLEM...

    I thought the MPASM *.inc file had all of the info we needed for this but now it looks like I am wrong.

    I can not find where the ports are defined.
    Where does it tell that the 16F676 only has six pins on a port?

    Evidently the data sheet is the only place to find the info.
    HIGH PORTC.7
    compiles just fine for a 16F676.

    Maybe it's not so much a problem as a limitation. If the info is not available in the .inc, that's just one of the things the programmer will still have to rtfd for. The only other choice would be to build in an editor and custom make a new .inc so to speak.

    Me too!

    It looks like this information is stored in mplab ide. Its a little harder to read though.

    It is located here: C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Device

    In my search, I came across a video presentation of Microchips Visual Device Initiator. Sad to say, I am drooling at the 2004 technology. Fast forward to about 11 minutes in or so. It is kind of like a config wizard, and PicMultiCalc all in one. http://techtrain.microchip.com/media/websem/VDI_082604.wmv or check out http://www.scalerobotics.com/VDI Tutorial.pdf

    Hi Dave,

    It fooled me too. I've now been through ALL of the files (PBP, MPASM, and Proton) and see no way to glean the individual port bits that don't exist. So I've found the right spot in the code to toss in exceptions to the general rules. Now, if the part name is "16F676" or "16F630", it will show only PORTA and PORTC with bits 0-5 enabled. As additional problem children are identified I can keep adding the special handling for them there.

    I'll have a new version posted sometime today.

    With regard to the ADC settings, I remain woefully short in the imagination department. Could someone please post what items you would like to select for setting up the ADC, then show me an example of what the output should look like? That would be a big help...

    Best Regards,
    Paul

    Hello Bert,

    Thanks much for the comments. I'm working on Items 2 and 3, hope to have the next rev sometime today.

    Best Regards,
