MicroCode Studio oddity...

[Ioannis]

Yeap, I had similar issues with new commnds that appeared after 2.50 version and with some newer PICs.

It seems that MCS needs an upgrade soon.

Also another issue is when I had two files opened and was changing some lines on prog-A, after making some corrections to prog-B and returnd to prog-A, whatever I was doing it got LOST! Frustrating....

Have you tried this?

Yeap and I had some issues with windows ghosting, reported to Norm, but I suppose he is busy.

I have not had that problem. What version are you using. OS?

Most of my work of late has been on my linux box using gedit. Never faild... yet.

I thought I had it figured out... then I added a bunch more variables and noticed that a whole set of variables that had auto-corrected had gone back to "as-typed" (which implies some kind of "history tracking" or something that I'm not at all comfortable with - I don't need surprises in the middle of coding). So I've given up the idea of using this "technique" as a check that the variable has been typed correctly (too bad, I thought it was pretty good).

I can't say that I know for sure that this was supposed to be a valid "feature" of the editor. It's more than a little irritating when development tools do what they want, when they want.

I can't replicate the problem of ghosting however I am working on a new version of FL.
It's built with the latest Delphi compiler and includes some options for windows 7.
I'll send you a beta copy when it's ready.

Thanks Norm. I will be looking forward to.

@ mtripoli: it is indeed very annoying when that happens. I learned my lesson and hit the Ctrl+S all the time. Almost annoyingly often .

[mtripoli]

Yeah... I hit the save key pretty often myself...

@Norm: I downloaded and am using your IDE; very impressive. I've been using it for about half an hour and it's been tooling right along.

I'm using the PICKIT3 programmer. I saw the setup string for firing the programmer, but when it comes up I still have to load the uC and program manually (I'm using a 16F1946). Anyone got any ideas on getting this to program automatically? I think my device declaration is wrong as well; I still don't have the declaration format correct for using Microchips programmers (@ DEVICE HS_OSC,WDT_OFF,BOD_OFF,LVP_OFF,PROTECT_OFF) doesn't work...

[Ioannis]

Are you using the stand alone software for Pickit3?

If yes, it has the auto import hex and write button. Just click it to turn on the feature.
