Configurator

[Ioannis]

Robert, at the bottom of the page the link refers too, there is a Note and after this note you can download the Fuse Configurator ( PIC® Fuse Configurator Mk2 (Ver3.2.0.2) ). But it is for the PDS compiler in a Microcode environment.

So, my question is, since this is done for the other compiler, and covers almost all PIC® controllers, how difficult is to modify it and use it in PBP?

The author is unlikely to share source code if he has a vested interest in the other compiler (and rightfully so).

You can ask but I wouldn't hold it against him if he said no.

My phrasing implied "free", but it was not my intention. Maybe in the Plus edition of the MCS?

But there is no option yet.

Tell you what, accumulate everything I would need to know to make this tool; what files, what lines to look for, etc.

I'll keep an eye open while I'm making this application and see if I can come up with at least a basic system. Nothing is stopping us from coming up with a barebone version 1 with open source, and let the ball roll from there. Maybe someone with more advanced skills than me might then be willing to spruce things up at that point.

I can't guarantee anything except giving my best effort with the VB knowledge I have. I know this can be done, someone has proved that already.

EDIT: I had done this for PIC 18s:

But I'd also need the same for 10, 12 and 16s. I don't know anything about the 24 and 33s, do they support PBP?

They do support PBP. But PBP is not supporting them. Yet...

Well, I cannot helpon this project Robert, as my skills on VB are at ground level. But can beta test if it is needed.

For the 1.95 installation, maybe you want to see this thread also:

I don't see any mention so far that MPLAB X is for PBP 3.0 only, or am I missing something? I thought I had seen that restriction last year but now I can't see it (probably right in my face too).

If MPLAB X supports v2.60c, I'm not interested in reinventing the wheel. Somehow I have a feeling it doesn't, just because of the new way CONFIGs are handled.

Wow!

I had tried MPLAB a long time ago but had been turned off by the interface. It just didn't seem as easy to get going (for a beginner) as MicroCode Studio Plus.

It looks like I'm going to have to give it another try after all. And it's free too. I went through the user guide and didn't see any reference if there is a retriction to what compiler it supports.

Dumb question #34: Does PBP v2.60c work on MPLAB X?
