Installing PBP3.1 with MPLAB 8 AND MPLABX

[Ioannis]

If you can get away with older chips then why not stay on 5.35?

It's probably an easier decision than that... PBP 3.1 only supports devices using MPASMX, and MPLABX 5.35 was the last version to include MPASMX.

Later versions of MPLABX might let you program more devices, but you can't compile them with PBP.

I can't find my U2 USB programmer, and I just bought a PICkit4. I thought I was gonna enjoy some "modern tech".

PK4 no workie in old MPLAB, no?

If Pickit 4 is your only option for programming then do this:

1. Use MCS to write your program and produce hex
2. Run MPLAB IPE (not IDE) to connect to Pickit 4
3. Program your PIC through the IPE

That's all. And use whatever IPE version you want. Just be sure to use MPLBX 5.35 to use PBP compiler.
