Using ready-to-use tools to adjust the registers as we need, kills our ability of playing with them, and lowers the understanding of the hardware registers.
setting pin function is pic 101 stuff , but essential to get correct .not much programming skill in there once a basic understanding is reached

Manual setting as much as possible is a good way of self developing, I think.

would you not use dt_ints or PicMultiCalc
if there's a good tool use it ,I think
