It is not for the EasyPic5...but you may get some ideas.

Hi, Manwolf ...

For EasyPic 5 you'll have to DEFINE :

- Oscillator speed to 8 Mhz ( HS ...), if onboard XTal used
- Pins used by EP5 are very specific ... so you have to meet this Pin use.
- MicrocodeStudio can directly interface EP5 ... There's a thread about that in those columns.

For "soft" purposes ... now, it's you to make your brain work ...

Thanks for the tips and links, I have been coding in MCS and then running PICFlash on its own. Always good to put the brain to work keeps the cobwebs cleared out. I will check out both of the links.

Now all I need to do is unlearn all of my bad habits from programming PCs. LOL

What does everyone suggest for a simulator, the one in MPL or something like PIC Sim?

I do not trust simulators, do a search on this forum and you can find suggestions. The one with MPLAB I hear is pretty good... But BreadBoard101 still works great

I'll suggest you the best one...
NOTHING

Build your circuit and that's it. There's no valuable Hardware Simulators on the market.

Some are better... but they all failed my own simple test. Save thousands bucks and build your own circuit...Period.

I know i'll make friends... once again

someone get upset with sweet and nice mister_e no way ;o)

[mister_e]

Believe me there is... do I care when it's because I gave my own opinion on something?



Freedom's of speech all the way with decent moderation though...

Here is a low cost simulator (available for PIC16 and PIC18) that is fun to use:

It has a decent range of hardware peripherals, is low cost and the BASIC compiler is very similar to PBP. You can try it for free (with no limitations) for 30 days.
