That code in the example looks familiar

Looks like a nice alternative to MCS

Just checked it out, looks VERY nice. Makes me want to buy a programmer to work with it.

I thought you were using a PicKit2?

Norm , I just downloaded your latest version and I think it needs a bit more work. I use TAB's for my indenting and when edited with MCSP it looks as it should. When the same program is loaded into your latest version, it seems to get confused about the tab spacing and also seems to get confused about where to put the connecting lines to the left side of the screen. There are places where multiple connections are all covered up by the same line... If you can give me your email address I will send you the some screen shots...

FL requires an indent to allow room to draw to left of text.
See how finelines draw to left of "SensorError:" label in post #1.
Try a select all and indent one step.

I will look into the tabs replacement width issue.

Hi,

I've just downloaded and "installed" the IDE - went through the config process of pointing the IDE at the installation folders for MPSAM, PBP etc and then loaded up one of my old programs. The IDE responded with a pop up about converting tabs or something and then displayed the code.

A lot of the coloured brackets shown in your example were bunched up against the far left of the code window, so the "importation" didn't work for me. I tried compiling and each time I got an error about an invalid path statement, for either PBP or MPSAM. It seemed as if the IDE had lost it's settings, even though the INI files show the path statements to where the EXE's are

[PicBasicPro]
Use MPASM=1
Use PBPL=0
Compiler Path=C:\PBP2.60\PBP.EXE
Assembly Path=*:\
IDE Path=C:\Program Files\Mecanique\MCS\CodeStudio.exe

Location2=Browse to *\pk3cmd.exe
Location3=C:\Program Files\Mikroelektronika\PICFLASH-mikroICD\PICFLASH.exe
Location4=Browse to *\meProg.exe
Parameter0=

I think I've set all the parameters up, to use my easypic5 board, MPSAM and PBP which is my current set up with MCS, but could be wrong. I did try the automatic scan as well for each option and if didn't find the exe's on some occasions and I used the manual browse option

EDIT:

Ignore that..... have found out where I was going wrong - can now compile OK !!! - USER ERROR ON THIS OCCASION !!!

No, I have ICD2 and ICD3. But a Pickit2 is on my wish list. Just haven't stopped to look at all the options it can come with.
