    Default Installation sequence

    I've had tons of errors trying to compile a blinking LED on a 18F4550 (no problems with 16F628 and 16F877). Folder names were wrong in include members so I've uninstalled everything to start fresh.

    I've had a problem in another application that had multiple mods and add-ons; the order of installation had to be followed carefully. So I'd like to make sure I'm not making a similar error here:

    1. MeLabs programmer 3.12 (disquette)
    2. PIC BASIC Pro compiler (CD)
    3. MicroCode Studio Plus (CD)
    4. Lab-X (disquette)
    5. PIC BASIC Pro upgrade 2.46 (disquette)
    6. PIC BASIC Pro upgrade 2.46a (download)
    7. MicroCode Studio Plus upgrade (online)
    8. MPLAB Tools v7.21 (download)
    9. EasyHID (download)

    Does that look ok?

    Ok, things are getting worse. I was just going down my checklist and reinstalling everything and I got a snag at update 2.46a. I get this error:

    Cannot update version 2.46.
    E:\PBP\INC\M16F684.INC: unknown version.

    Any idea what's going on?

    __CONFIG has been deprecated for PIC 18F devices. Use directive CONFIG.

    According to dictionary.com that means __CONFIG is obsolete and now replaced by CONFIG. It's not just a matter of replacing the text, that didn't work. Is there new syntax? How would you write this statement now?

    @ __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_1_1L

    Jeez, now I have problems finding includes in MicroCode Studio. The file pathnames are not right...

    Well, found the answer to some problems myself. I editted the pathnames in the includes and libs and things work further (added disk and full pathname).

    I'm still faced by that deprecate warning, still no idea how to get rid of that.

    And then there is one last ERROR[118]: OVERWRITING PREVIOUS ADDRESS at line 50 of the ASM file to figure out.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.

    Ok, this is funky. The 1st thing I did was to go look in the FAQ for help on these issues and I only had 2 threads listed. I just did a SEARCH through the forum and found this thread:

    Presetting Configuration Fuses (PIC Defines) into your Program

    But if I go look in FAQ again, it's not there, always the same two threads? Anyways, Mister_E posted the answer to why I get the OVERWITE message.

    Now if I can just find the answer to those pesky DEPRECATE warnings.

    What software do you lot use to program the 18F4550?

    I've always used IC-Prog with my JDM programmer to program other chips ok - but it looks like IC-Prog doesn't support this chip yet.

    I've tried winPic800 - but that doesnt detect the chip.

    Help appreciated.

    over the year i discovered and confirm that what you invest in really worth if you use it daily. Even if you spend 400-500$ or more

    simple calculation
    OriginalPrice/(DaysOfUseInAYear*Years) ... after 1-2 years you'll discover than less than 1$ a day really worth all time wasting if XYZ odd problem happen due to the limited support.

    Picstart is still workable but i don't recommend it now. It have still some problem on some device. All problem are solved here using BK precision 844a another Elnec relabeled). Work 100% of the time. The software upgrade is free and support by far more than only PIC.

    Now if you plan to program only PICs... Melabs EPIC or Microchip ICD2 are some great tools too. At least often mentionned here and on other forum.

    Those freebies like JDM & Pals are probably good for older device.. 16F628, 16F84... but come-on and give a break to those poor guy who develop FREE software around that like IC-Prog, WinPIcProg, PonyProg and how many others.

    You're serious, use serious stuff

    Sorry, it's my own and single opinion. Please, no flames.

    As i said, if you're a serious developper or work most of your time 'round PIC and other programmable IC (eeprom include) the investement and support really worth... at least to me.
