    Default PBP 2.50 with 16F722A

    I am planning to use 16F772A for my application.

    I see PBP can handle 16F772 ( not A ) , question is, can PBP 2.50 handle this chip?

    Thank you

    Your first stop: microchip migration note from the non A to A, then see what's different.

    The device is virtually same, please take a look :

    As PBP 2.50 has no INC file for 16F722A , can I use MPASM INC file instead ?

    or am I missing something here ?

    Looks like support for the A version started in PBP 2.6.

    The *.inc files are not the same. You will need to get an upgrade.

    well I would compile for the non A, and try. But yeah, an upgrade never hurt.

    There have been lots of goodies added since 2.50, so an upgrade is highly recommended.

    But, the A an non A 16F722 chip are the same in PBP mind. Only differences are in MPASM. So, if you copied the 16F722.inc and bas files, to 16F722A.inc and base files, then edited the line:

    INCLUDE "P16F722.INC" ; MPASM Header
    to read:
    INCLUDE "P16F722A.INC" ; MPASM Header

    You should be set.

    Thank you comrades, I will place an order for 16F722A tomorrow

    As for the upgrade, I would like to upgrade to PBP3 Gold, but I bought my PBP from digikey, and melabs said on their website that they provide NO upgrade for the distributors :
    http://store.melabs.com/cat/PBPUP.html

    I still have the purchase receipt from digikey, do you think can I am eligible for upgrade ?

    Yes, directly from Melabs. You can download the big fat file that includes all (MPLAB 8.73, MCSX5, PBP3, Manual) and then from the included tool make the update requiring the activation code. It may take some time for the e-mail of the code to arrive.

    Sure, a receipt from digikey is fine.
    You can email it to [email protected]

    When you download PBP3 it is fully functional for 15-days, so any delays in verifying previous purchases isn't a problem.

    Download PBP3 from http://PBP3.com
