pic18f24k22 & picbasic pro 2.45

[jimseng]

Thanks. I am really struggling with what I thought was going to be a simple thing...3 harware pwm to control and rgb led. I ahve spent a day going through the microchip list looking for a pic that has:
1: 3 hardware pwm
2: is compatible with picbasic 2.45
3: Is comaptible with my vellemen programmer.
4: is available to buy from RS or the like.
Sheesh!
Perhaps I should go down the icsp route.
I can try the pb3 trial for 15 days but that only gets me over 2:

Ok. I have found my answer:

Compatible with many many pics and the Velleman k8048.
A bit happier now.

The PIC18f2331 and PIC18f2431 have at least 3 pwm modules. It's also
an older chip and may work with PBP2.45? Otherwise you need to upgrade your compiler
and programer software.

I can't see any reference to any version of the 18F2331/2431/4331/4431 in the update list, so it's hard to say exactly when support began:

I just looked through all my upgrade cds for PBP. My 2.47 disc is dated 2006.
The data sheet for the PIC18F4431 is dated 2007, so I think this chip was not supported
for 2.45? Time to upgrade.
