A new MPLAB IDE

[mackrackit]

Maybe if you posted your code and configs it would help.

Or just install from your CD when you can.... That is what it is for. Everything you need in one convenient place.

Sorted now it was the configs :roll: Appologies for doubting the gurus on here

Hi, All

Great News ...

MPLABX supports PBP Now ....

Sure Charles could tell us some words about it ... ( about the use or not of PBPMPLAB.bat ... i.e.)

and may be explain me that ...

Yes, do tell us more please.
I've been playing around with the evaluation version of UltraEdit and I'm starting to get code folding and syntax highlighting to a place where I want it but there are many other things that needs sorting (and removed from the default layout) for it to be worth it.

If MBLAB X is the bee's knees then there's no need to spend the time and cash on UE.

How does this compare with Mecanique Microcode Studio Plus?

Is it worth changing if I'm used to MCSP?

I know it's free, but MCSP is already paid.

I remember looking at MPLAB when I first started and it didn't look as user friendly as MCS, things just didn't look at intuitive. It could have been just me, tastes and first impressions affect our choices so drastically.

IMPORTANT

For beta 6 support PICBASIC PRO and CCSC was added. However, support to import an MPLAB 8 project using this compilers is not there yet. You need to recreate the projects using the "Standalone Project" wizard.
Also, to use the PICBASIC PRO, you might need to add mpasmx to your path: add $InstallationDir\mpasmx. For example, if you installed to the default MPLAB X installation directory in a 32 bit Windows system, you'd need this in your path:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLABX\mpasmx

Do this if you get the error:
ERROR: Unable to execute mpasmx.make[2]:

If you change your path, you need to re-start MPLAB X.

I sure agree with you Robert.

The MPLAB feels like the ... bad old DOS environment.

I prefer the MCS too.

The X is different from the old 8.xx and promisses to give some whistles and bells.

If anyone has tested the editor please report.

I do not want to download the over 200Mb beast just to see that I do not like it...
