Using PICBASIC PRO in MPLAB IDE

[Archangel]

HI all,

My problem is different than the original thread, but the title fits, so I'll post it here.

I have been using MCS and PBP for a while, and never managed to really "use" MPLAB. It seem that every time I try, I fall into a "pit of death" and get frustrated and ignore it again.
Well, I have a troublesome program, and I need to see it in a simulator. After looking around, it seems that MPLAB has it if I can figure out the hurtles. I was encouraged to try again by Chuck Hellebuyck's article in N&V and it seemed so easy. HA! again the gremlins have their way with me!

I have MPLAB 7.60 in C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite\MPASMWIN.exe (default) PBP is 2.47. In MPASM points to C:\PBP\PBPW.exe (default) copied the .inc files as mentioned.
Ran PBPlugins.bat and checked the path on my computer.
It is:
C:\MCC;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemR oot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite;C:\PBP

I reassigned the paths and got the same error.

I would love to learn to use MPASM, but it seems that I keep running into problems like this and get frustrated.
Can anyone see something that I’m missing?

Thanks again
Mark

P.S. The whole reason for this round of gymnastics is to try and figure out a motion control glue board that I need.
If anyone cares to look it over and offer any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

I’m hoping that by seeing it in a simulator, I can get some ideas on where the problem is.

I have been working in MicroCode Studio and using Darrel Taylor’s DT_INTS-14-0.bas for handling the interrupts.(the “-0” is a mod for 0 banks on the 12F).
The code that I have follows:

Hi Mark,
Try these ,

ASM
    ifndef __12F675
        error "12F675 not selected"
    endif
ENDASM
@ __config _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _CP_OFF 

    PCON = %00000011    ' BOD off, No POR flag set

DEFINE OSC 4

    OSCCAL = %1111100   ' SET OSC TO MAXIMUM SET OSC TO 4 MHZ INTERNAL
