#device error when compile for PCWH ver 3.185

[pkwek]

Hi,

Alway encounter this error when doing pre-processor setting.

codes:

#if defined(__PCH__)
#include (18F8620.h)
#endif

#device adc=10 <-- A #device is required before this line

or

void main() <-- A #device is required before this line

(actually, it happens to any statement that is planted here)

Any advise? :sad:

One of the first lines in your code needs to be
#device PIC18F8620

All other #device lines without the type number in it just add up to the already existing define.

Obviously your __PCH__ is not defined!
I can tell this from the next line containing an error and your compiler not complaining.

Thanx for the reply for the problem!

I have changed the codes to

#include <18F8620.h>
#device adc=10
void main ()
{}

But when i compile, 18F8620.h opens up and shows this error:

unknown device type try --PCH

:sad: How?

If you are using PCWH then you need to change from 14 bit device to 16 bit device on the menu bar. If the option is not showing you have to right click on the blank area of the menu bar, choose Customize and add the Compiler Select menu bar.

Thanx!

Everything's ok when i set the compiler select menu to MicroChip PIC18!!!
Earlier on, this compiler select menu was not on the toolbar.

Ready caught me. Thought it was already selected proper. I was working on PIC16 previously.

Thanx man! :grin:
