Errors In MPLAB 8.02

[HOTLNC]

I am an experienced PIC and MPLAB user (Assembly language only). I'm trying get started in PicBasicPro and am hitting a brick wall. I'm doing a test using the BLINK.asm program. When i BUILD the file, I get an "I/O error,: file not open for input" with OK button. If you press OK, I receive the following text in the OUTPUT screen:

I've installed all patches and have the PicBasic Pro Tool Set selected.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks and Best Regards,

And an upgrade to 2.50 might not be a bad idea either...

Hi,

Nor an upgrade to MPLAB 8.10 ...

BTW ... I'm curious to see the .bas listing ... just an idea !

Have you setup MPLAB for PBP like shown here? http://www.microengineeringlabs.com/support/mplab.htm

I've fixed the Configuration bits. Thanks for that!

I'm going to update to MPLAB 8.1. In the meantime, Here is the .bas file:

Edit your blink1.bas file to include just this. Save and recompile.

loop:   High 0          ' Turn on LED connected to PORTB.0
        Pause 500       ' Delay for .5 seconds

        Low 0           ' Turn off LED connected to PORTB.0
        Pause 500       ' Delay for .5 seconds

        Goto loop       ' Go back to loop and blink LED forever


                End
