Can't compile PIC18F26J11

[BrianT]

Thanks for the last tip ScaleRobotics - you were spot on.

It is not enough to rename a directory from MPASM to MPASM old. You must physically remove the old MPASM version. Your tip was right, MCSP was using the now obsolete MPASM in C:\Program files\mecanique\MCSP\MPASM. I had done a default install of MBLab and that had put MPASMWIN.exe into the C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM SUITE directory.

I did a manual find on MPASM from within MCSP 'compile and program' options and pointed MCSP to the Microchip\MPASM Suite directory. MCSP now compiles but with a heap of errors that is o be expected for just changing the processor from PIC16F88 to PIC18G26J11 and nothing else.

It looks like a lot of homework to understand the very different config fuse structure in the 26J11 part.

I don't think my setup is quite right as I get a fleeting burst of C:\ DOS prompt when I compile but that is a task for later.

Cheers

Good to hear you got it working. Yes, the configs can be painful! Not to worry about the fleeting dos window. That is normal for PBP with mplab above 8.15a.

Cheers,
