MPLAB Code Configurator with Mikroe compilers.

[daflory]

For my last project with MikroC I used the MPLAB X Code Configurator to map my pins and help find the correct register settings for my peripherals. This is a really useful tool, and it isn't necessary to use MPLAB to benefit from it.

If you download Microchip's MPLAB X and the Code Configurator plug in, you can choose peripherals for the selected PIC, choose a pin mapping, and configure timers and peripherals. The plug-in automatically calculates the correct register values, which can easily be set in your Mikroe compiler project. It makes finding the optimal pin-out, setting timers, and configuring complex peripherals very easy.

It's also a useful tool for better understanding how peripheral settings and configuration registers relate to one another, and it's very handy for modeling a configuration on different PIC's in order to choose the best one for a project.

Since the register settings generated by this tool are language independent, it should be equally useful regardless of what language one uses.

Hi,

You are right, it really is useful. We will consider implementing such a tool in our compilers.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Kind Regards,

Looks like this never happened.
