I have two Promate II's (one brand new in the box) and various modules whic= h=20 get used very rarely. I also have a PicKit 2 that I used at work last week to program a 10F222 (I= =20 normally use 18F so the 10F was a bit of a shock to the system !) MPLab 8.92 as my IDE. I found myself quite stuck the other day - tried for hours to debug a=20 program - only 40 lines but wouldn't simulate. Downloaded MPLAB-X - still=20 the same. Then I realised my code started ...... INCLUDE "P10F222.inc" END ORG 0x00 Goto Start Start Lots of random stuff Goto Start END I always create a new file with the include + end statement, save it as a=20 ..asm then start programming. This time I forgot to remove the END .........

I don't depend on system development for my income. So I still enjoy=20 projects for the challenge. For example, I developed a version of Conway's= =20 Game of Life using a 64 x 128 graphic LCD powered by a 16F88--programmed in= =20 assembler. I wonder, am I the only person left using a PicKit2, with MPLAB IDE 8.xx,=20 assembler programming 12F and 16F chips? My chips only have 2 or 3 number= s=20 following the "F"? Am I the only person who sometimes uses absolute code and prefers to=20 Quickbuild my programs rather than build a project? Those were the characteristics that encouraged beginners to move to PIC's=20 after playing with the Parallax Basic Stamp. With linked files and projects= ,=20 those days are gone. Systems like the Arduino mean programmers are slow to= =20 grasp processors at the machine level. By the way, I used this question as an excuse to post with a topic=20 identifier [PIC]. I haven't seen many of those lately on the [PIC] list. --=20 Bob LeDoux --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist=20 --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
