i'm very new to this area of pics etc.
i have bought the pic basic & dontronics board , as i want to concentrat
e
on the 12c508/09
my machine coding is not good ! i have much trouble trying
to grasp the concept .
so i bought the pic basic (standard) as my basic is a bit better .
anyway , what i'd like to know is ,
PUT SIMPLY :-
could someone give me some instructions on HOW DO I -
a) use pbc to code for a 12c508 (it is has
no target specific header file for 12c508 etc)
b) compile it with pbc without the default value(for16c84)
c) get the compiled code into the mplab 12c508 template(it
has the default coding i believe)or is there another way of doing it.
d) also how do i use "pot command" with the 12c508
the pic basic instruction book mentions about manipulation of pb##.inc & pbl.inc.which sounds like the way around it.
but there are no specific instructions as to how to go about it.outside of the pm printout. which i don't understand how to configure.
IN FACT for a newbie in this area . the picbasic instruction book is
not much help (for me anyway).
for eg , there's no instructions as to how to intergrate it with mplab
etc.(yes i've read the howto's on the list)
i was thinking that maybe i can write pbc for the 16c84 & convert for 12c508 , but what about the pbc default files that are compiled for the 16c84.
these types of problems ( & thats before even starting ) are enough to turn people off pics & I DON'T WANT TO BE TURNED OFF THEM.
HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME & THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.
