Hi A colleague of mine is using MPLAB C compiler and is struggling with the saving of registers in ISRs. Apparently the compiler manual says you have to manually scan the assembler code generated by the compiler to work out what registers to save/restore in interrupt routines. His software is crashing and he appears to be struggling to solve the problem. Does anyone have any exper...

I have been trying to use the PICKIT 2 programmer option within MPLAB IDE, but it seems like the option to do so is disable as shown in http://imagebin.ca/view/86lX0hhQ.html. I have also tried to update the firmware of my PICKIT 2 separately on the software provided on the Microchip website, but it keeps on freezing regularly every time I have attempted to check my PIC18F2620 to see if it is ...

Hi, I am trying to program a dsPIC33FJ32GP302 chip with the Pickit 2 programmer and using MPLAB C30 (This chip supports the Pickit 2 as illustrated by the green light on the "select device" window). I managed to put the chip on a board and connected it to the pickit 2. I built a project in MPLAB and the programmer sends power to the target as expected and it recognizes it. I imported th...

Hey everybody, I am trying to resolve a compile-time error using CC5x through MPLab. I have a code project (SOURCE CODE AT BOTTOM) where I'm trying to drive some LEDs out of a MAX7219 driver IC. I have taken the code outlined below from http://www.fernando-heitor.de/pic/projekte/max7219/programm.htm (bless them, there is so little information relating to the combination of the MAX7219 and ...

Can anyone advise please? I written a simple prog for an 18F1320 using an RC network (62K+100pF) giving an fosc of approx 100KHz. I've flashed a device and the program runs perfectly with the correct fosc/4 (25KHz) waveform on RA6/OSC2. Now, if I replace the 18F1320 with a MPLAB ICE2000, PCM18XJO and DVA18XP180 and execute from within MPLAB IDE (V7.31), RA6/OSC2 has a frequency of appr...

Hi to all, I am running MPLAB software to a PIC16F877A microcontroller via a CCS ICD-S20 pod. After downloading the code I get a pop-up with the following error message: "Could not start the target. The target was not halted after reset. Check the target oscillator and MCLR." I am using a 20MHz crystal oscillator from EPSON (working fine). The MCLR circuit is an MCP120-4.5V pulled up ...

I'm currently using MPLAB's C18 compiler to build a hex file from a simple "hello world" program to flash onto the program memory of a PIC18F2620 in order to see if I can perhaps create a program to toggle a pin to get started. However, I have been getting the following error in the pastebin link from the Build window: http://www.pastebin.ca/684463. I'm using a PICKIT 2 programmer from Microc...

Here is a quote from Microchip: "The MPLAB C30 C Compiler Student Edition is free! It is full-featured for the first 60 days. After 60 days only optimization level 1 can be enabled in the compiler. The compiler will continue to function after 60 days, but code size may increase." Does anyone really know what 'optimation level 1' really means? Or is this a trick get you purchase the t...

a) CONFIG/CBLOCK directive: I don't know what these directives do b) retfie dt; this is a Pic18 instruction. But, mplab uses only "retfie". Is it equivalent to "retfie 0"? If I comment these directive, then my files are compiled. But, the hex files are not same. Also, mplab generated hex files are not in previous (pic16fx) format. The header is in previous format. But, the body is bro...

When I execute my simple program in MPLAB the PORTA filer register bit 0 is not being set, but I can easily set bit 0 of the FSR register that sits right next to PORTA in the micro. In fact, nothing I do to PORTA works. Has anyone seen this before? Start BSF STATUS, RP0 MOVLW B'11111110' BCF STATUS, RP0 BSF PORTA, 0 ;doesn't work ...

Hi newbie here, I am doing GCSE technology and have been given and icebreaker kit to constuct which I have done but am having problems programming the chip, i have installed both mplab and the icebreaker software but to be honest i just don't know what to do next, there are very little instructions with it. can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks
