Hello ,everyone Here is a great free simulator that I have been playing with. great features and seem there are more coming. http://oase.uci.kun.nl/~mientki/PIC/Pic_frame.htm the name of the sim is jalss take a peek I don't use mplab I have tried but it is difficult or maybe I'm just to dumb. but this is great and best of all free. great graphics. regards Victor Faria ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Pokorny" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [PIC]: Debugging code in the chip > Well, it depends, > > I use simulator for diffiucult parts of a program only.
