A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.
My CCS C compiler (PCM) is old enough to not have a 16f887.h include
file but I was wanting to try that chip. I emailed CCS tech support
asking if they had a 16f887.h but they said "You will need a version
4 compiler to use the 887 chip."
I find that hard to believe if, in fact, the PIC16F887 is a true
PIC16F family part with classic PIC16F peripherals. So I have that
question in to them.
My question here is, can I clone/tweak an existing 16fxxx.h file and
expect at least basic, if not full operation with my CCS PCM C
compiler v3.245?
Comparing the PIC16F887 to the PIC16F877A on the Microchip site,
shows only that the PIC16F887 has self-write, 8MHz & 32KHz internal
osc., & 6 more A/D channels. There may be other differences too fine
to note on the Microchip 8-bit product selection webpage.
I don't have a PIC16F887 yet so I thought I'd ask here. Maybe MPLAB
will let me use the HiTech PICC-Lite compiler but I like the features
in my CCS compiler if, indeed, I can use it.
Thanks,
Coop, AA1WW
