A new MPLAB IDE

[rmteo]

The X is different from the old 8.xx and promisses to give some whistles and bells.

If anyone has tested the editor please report.

I do not want to download the over 200Mb beast just to see that I do not like it...

Hi,

How does this compare with Mecanique Microcode Studio Plus?

MCSP is great but it doesn't seem to be maintained any more which is unfortunate. It lacks code folding (so does MPLAB 8.xx when used with PBP, AFAIK) and it lacks "true" source level debugging.

Norm is onto something with his FineLineIDE but I don't think it'll provide source level debugging.

Have not found something related to PBP though...

Perhaps Ace is the only one who has used it with PBP - and he's not telling.

Alain? Are you hiding something from us?

I say, no picture, no proof, I don't believe it... like a recent Barak Obama Annoucement... (cough)(cough)

[ScaleRobotics]

I've got proof ....

Proof that it doesn't work for me ....

But I obviously don't get as far as Alain.

I installed MPLAB when I reinstalled everything recently, I just never got around to giving it a 2nd look.

Right now MCSP does pretty much all I need so I'm content.

I don't know what either one is anyways.

True source is being able to look at the assembler-generated code maybe?


So I fired up MCSP to see what the last dates were in the HELP/ABOUT; 2001, 2005.

So I clicked on the FORUM to see what that looked like and it sent me here. LOL
