Just installed PBP and now I'm lost. HELP!!!

goto
View/ Compile and Program Options

Make sure that your manually find your compiler ex: C/PBP
and your assembler and programmer

I always just use the "compile" option from the Project menu

Good luck!

F10 is compile *and program* - F9 is compile only. Good luck!

All your methods worked very well. I had some errors in the program. MicroCode Studio told me which lines the errors were on and what type of error they were. So I went back to those lines and corrected them. Then I tried compiling again and it was successful and it told me how many words it used. It compiled the Basic program into an assembly program. The only problem I have now is how do I compile the assembly program into an Intel HEX file? I have a BK Precision Universal Programmer which uses the Intel HEX file.

You need to have MPLAB from microchip with the MPASM suite.
View in MicroCode.
PicBasic Options
Assembler tab

That is where you tell MCS where to find MPASM and to output INHX8M,8S, or32.

I think that is what you need.

You are quite right Dave

I misread and therefore misunderstood the question, sorry

kenny might be able to make his programmer work directly with MCS. That would save him a step or two

I tried the ALT-H that duncan303 posted and that just opened the help pulldown menu. Mackrakit, I do have the Microchip MPLAB IDE v7.61. It contains the Application Maestro, MPASMWIN, and Visual Procmd. I have no idea what any of these applications are used for. Can any of these applications be used to create a HEX file? It also has something called Setup MPLAB Tools. I clicked this and a window appeared which allowed me to modify the existing settings. I was afraid to change anything since I didn't know what I was doing. So I just exited without changing anything.
