Post by thread:MPLABC

How many folks are there using MPLABC? I used to code directly in assembly, but switched over to MPLABC about two weeks ago. It allows you to code rubbish (without always generating errors or warnings) that will compile to a even bigger heap of rubbish.(Garbage in, garbage out!) I'd like to discuss a few (not-so-funny) funnies in it. -- Friendly Regards Tjaart van der Walt ______________________________________________________________ | Another sun-deprived R&D Engineer slaving away in a dungeon | |WASP International GSM vehicle tracking and datacomm solutions| | +27-(0)11-622-8686 | http://wasp.co.za | |______________________________________________________________|

Hi Peter, I went to Mchip's site and found that MPLAB-C has been discontinued. They now only offer a free MPLAB-C17, a C compiler for only 17Cxxx series chips. Anyway, was MPLAB-C ever free for download? I thought that they sold it and that was why it didn't come with MPLAB by default.

there was a demo program that allowed a maximum compile of 255 bytes. i zipped the directory and posted it on the web at http://home.i1.net/mhagberg/mpcdemo.zip i believe this is ok to distribute if not i will remove the file. don't go asking microchip for tech help. by the way i have never been even mildly impressed at 'c' compilers for the pic. i find that projects for the lower end chips can just as easily be coded with a few good library routines for (RS232 or displays) in assembly. michael You may leave the list at any time by writing "SIGNOFF PICLIST" in the body of a message to .....LISTSERVKILLspam@spam@MITVMA.MIT.EDU. {Original Message removed}

I don't have any problem with the link but it might be better to point a link to the Byte Craft Limited WEB site at http://www.bytecraft.com/impc.html where the current MPC demo can be found.

The compiler demo you refer to in this post is a very old MPC demo from Byte Craft Limited. MPLABC was based on an even earlier version of MPC destributed by Microchip under Licence. MPC continious to be sold and supported by Byte Craft Limited. The current demo version can be found at http://www.bytecraft.com/impc.html Walter Banks > there was a demo program that allowed a maximum compile of 255 bytes. i > zipped the directory and posted it on the web at > http://home.i1.net/mhagberg/mpcdemo.zip > i believe this is ok to distribute if not i will remove the file. don't go > asking microchip for tech help.
