Mplab Ide and C1. Compiler config. Configuring MPLAB and C1. Compiler,Setting up your first Project. Introduction. Configuring MPLAB with C1. In my previous pic. Programming a Microcontroller. MPLAB Configuration for MPC. MPLAB, Microchip's IDE. Choose Properties from the shortcut menu.I am assuming that you have already downloaded the tools from, microchip (MPLAB IDE and C1. Compiler from the links provided from the previous post. If installation for Mplab and C1. Compiler went well for you then, you can quickly skip this part of tutorial and go on the next part with for coding your pic. PIC1. 8F4. 55. 0 Blinking LED Method - 1. Next stage would be to install the weapons, (tools) that we downloaded in our previous post for the war to be won. Snapshot below describes the steps of installation, Configuration of C1. Compiler, creating project and Setting up compiler, library and directories on windows XP OS. Installation and settings won’t be much of a different taste for other Windows OS as well. First Install the MPLAB IDE from the setup file you downloaded. Let’s gets go on to C1. The lite version of c. Compiler that we are installing here is version v. Next you have to run the C1. Compiler setup for installation. The C1. 8 compiler will detect the MPLAB and will install accordingly. After Installation of C1. Compiler, all the necessary compiler files, Headers, Linker and few Example coding will be installed in following directory. C: \Program Files\Microchip\mplabc. You can review short example programs. C: \Program Files\Microchip\mplabc. Microchip always documents its releases very nicely. Quick getting started documents can be found in. C: \Program Files\Microchip\mplabc. MPLAB- C1. 8- Getting- Started. Don’t delete the Setup files after installation. You might need it someday in future just in case if you have to reinstall everything from beginning. After installation of Mplab and C1. Project Wizard. All the coding would be handled as individual projects which would contain various the blocks of code interconnected. For demo purpose we are going to create a Dummy project to understand the project setting. In our tutorial I have created a folder on Desktop “Project. All the project files will be stored here; don’t forget the location where you created your project folder. So First start MPLAB IDE, which would start blank as an “Untitled Workspace”. Create a new project by proceeding through project wizard from top file menus that would help you to setup the setting for your first new project. Project wizard would give you options to select your microcontroller which you intent to code and also it will load the necessary tool suite that you need for project. Project Wizard. Select the microcontroller from the drop down list menu, which in our case is PIC1. F4. 55. 0. Next step would be to select the Toolsuite. How to run MPLAB X IPE How do I run MPLAB X IPE? I have deleted the icon from my desktop. There is no start menu item and I can't find an exe for it. In our case we are going to use C1. Compiler Toolsuite, so while creating the project from project wizard when it prompts, select C1. Toolsuite from the top drop down menu. The folder which was created in the beginning was named as project. Navigate to the folder that you created. Navigate inside the folder and then name the new Project. This prompt would help you to add already coded files. Since we don’t have anything yet coded for our pic. When everything is done mplab would display Project Summary with all project parameters such as Device name, Toolsuite and location of the project. Hit finish. Your project settings are now ready. Created project can be viewed in the same folder where you saved your project few seconds ago. The main project file would be yourprojectname. You can always launch the entire project with your project name. For this tutorial its been named as project. Project. 1 (project Folder)Project. Project name)The Project which is created now would be blank without any coding. Now since we have created a project, now we have to add C files for writing our code. Create a new file by either clicking on File > New or click on New File icon. That would create a new untitled file. Write some dummy string and then hit save. Name the file while saving it. In our case we would name it as main. NOTE: * While saving the file, remember to check the box. The new added C file would be enlisted in the project explorer Under “Source Files”. Now we have successfully added a C file for writing the codes. Just in case if the library settings are not set then you can review the setting under the Directory Search Paths. From drop down menu under the Directories select Library Search Path. After selecting the Library Search Path, if you find it empty then you can add the path manually. C: \Program Files\Microchip\mplabc. Output Path Setting By default if you don ’t choose an output folder then all files created during the compilation of the program would be directly dumped into the main project folder (Project. That would make things looks messy after you compile, and you would find some extra files that compiler generated during compilation. So that compiler would dump all the files into the Output folder including your . That would make life easy in future. Hence now we are completely set with MPLAB IDE, compiler and Project settings . So lets carry on with our first setting on real time coding with hardware c. Blinking a led – Method 1.
