    Yeah! He is indeed very neat. I am inspired to do the same. The background looks like a chair seat. Darrel your wildbilly.hex file ran ok. I have never used MPASM. I should try and get it going.

    Thank you.

    Just go here... at the bottom of the page, install the MPLAB IDE v8.00 Full Release Zipped Installation

    Are you using MicroCode Studio for the IDE?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Great. That makes it easy.

    After installing MPLAB ...

    In MCS, go to the View | Compile and Program Options | Assembler Tab

    Click the Find Manually ... button and point it to
    C:\program files\microchip\mpasm suite

    Then check the Use MPASM checkbox.

    You should be good to go.

    OOPs, one more thing to get that to compile.

    In your PBP folder, open the 16F877A.INC file, and comment out the __config line with a semicolon ;

    Now you should be good to go.


    mister_e,

    At least now I know where to go if I need some extra wire.
    Sheesh.

    Hi Darrel. I have installed MPLAB IDE v8.00 Full Release and setup was done as mentioned.
    Now when compiled I get the MPASM window showing the process and then shows 18 errors.
    This goes by very fast and starts green and then goes red. The errors are similar to what I had before. Here are a few. I have omitted the path for each error.

    205 : Found label after column 1. (WritePort)
    205 : Illegal opcode(_Char)
    234 : Illegal opcode(_LCD_DATAUS)
    249 : Found label after column 1.(DelayUS)
    267 : Illegal opcode(LCD_COMMANDUS)

    and many more
