    Jmgelba, your join date is 2004, which means you aren't green (new). Like anything, Microchip has evolved with newer PIC offerings sporting more power, more Peripherals, and at cheaper prices. MCP abandoned MPLAB in favor of MPLABX. PBP3 has evolved. Even the dated dtInts has evolved, thanks to contributions from the community. The software versions you are using are extremely outdated. To upgrade to the current PBP3.1 software will cost you $50 US. However, upgrading to the last version of PBP3.0 is free. PBP3.x works with MPLABX v5.35 or older. Is there a reason you have not taken advantage of these free upgrades?? Many folks in the past have been pleasantly surprised by how many of their challenges were magically solved just by updating their software. Give it a try and let us know if it helps at all.

    I haven't touched a pic in years. I really don't do much with firmware at all. I'm completely out of date, have no skills, and forgot all the stuff I learnt a decade ago. All I want to do is run a timer for 60, 90, or 120 seconds while monitoring a pin for a high to low transition that stops the timer and jumps to a different location in the program. Should be super simple but I'm dumb and crazy busy with other stuff.

    I'll take a look around for that 3.0 free upgrade.

    So I got a copy of PBP3, MCS4, MPLABX IDE 5.50, and yeah, same result. Plus a whole bunch of other issues such as programmer issues (fixed) makefile issues (not fixed) MCS not connecting to MPLAB correctly (not fixed.)
    I have upended a setup that's created several programs and programmed hundreds of chips, only to be worse off than before lol.
