Unpacking a PICkit 2 Programmer/Debugger

[Ioannis]

Hi Bruce. Thanks a lot for the quick tutorial!

What if there is already installed the 8.30 version of the MPLAB? Will be any problem with the latest (greatest?) version?

See the first section here http://melabs.com/support/mplab.htm for info on using PBP with
MPLAB version 8.20 or later.

MeLabs is working on it, but it's not ready yet. If you want to use MPLAB with the latest
version of PBP, you'll need to install MPLAB version 8.15a or earlier.

Been making a lot of progress, Bruce.

Now I have a question again.

When using the simulator, my switches (which in hardware have a pull-up) show to be low; how can i change that so that I could use the stimulus to trigger these?

Regards,

Anand

Click in the stimulus Action window for options. See attached screen capture.

Yes, I discovered that, Bruce. But does 'pulse low' mean that input would otherwise be high by default, as it would with a pull-up? Or does one have to set it high every time, before a pulse low can be used?

Weak pull-ups on ports not implemented in MPLAB SIM. Use Toggle.

Well, I asked because 1. did not read the mentioned article by Melabs and 2. I run your tutorial with no problems. I did not though compiled yet any program in 8.30...
