CCS Wizard

[gjs_rsdi]

Hi

I am trying to make a new project with the PIC16F1847. I have a few projects made with this controller, always using the CCS PIC wizard that at the end of the process I have the CCS Project, the .c file and the .h file.
The CCS website page regarding the PIC Wizard
http://www.ccsinfo.com/faq.php?page=project-wizard
Is how it was in the past (if I remember correct, long time I didn’t made a new project).
But today, I can’t get this page anymore when click on the wizard.
CCS PCH C Compiler, Version 5.059, 31220

I know Jay will say that the wizard is for lazy people, but is more easy for me to make a new project in this way

Please help
Best wishes

File
New
Project Wizard (or Project 24bit wizard).

You are then asked to put in the filename you want to use, and the
project wizard page appears.

The toolbar has been redesigned. The 'project' tab disappeared with
the launch of the V5 compiler.

The problem with the wizard, is that it leaves many things unset, which
on the more modern chips need to be set. It increases the probability
of not getting things actually configured to work...

Hi Ttelmah

Thank you for the reply.
I done as you said also before, just the path was wrong.
Now everything is OK. I ma getting old
I know that have some errors, usually I am searching the forum for fixes

Thanks again
Best wishes

NO, not for lazy people BUT just be aware that the 'Wizard' is someone else's idea of default configurations ! It also probably changes 'defaults' for different PICs, or even compiler versions , though I've never used it but others may know.
I still think all I/O should default to digital I/O....
My 'cheat' is to have an #INCLUDE file that contains every fuse, one per line, with comment. I started this with the 46K22 5-6 years ago as there's more fuses than instructions. Having a known set of fuses is,well, kinda important and it's easier and safer to type one INCLUDE instead of 30-40 fuses lines ! It sure saves on typos and 'OK, WHY doesn't it work now' problems.....

Thanks Jay

I have also the PIC18F26K22, PIC16F648A and PIC16F1847 fuses in .txt files per your long time advice.
Still for me is more easy with the wizard to select the pins for different functions

Hi

PIC16F1847

CCS PCM C Compiler, Version 5.062, 31220

Still with the Wizard I am trying to make a file with the available options for:

CCP1 I get just the default pin RB3, can't change to RB0
CCP2 I get just the default pin RB6, can't change to RA7
I am getting setup_ccp1(CCP_PWM);
According to the wizard is on the default pin. How I can change to the alternative pins?

Supposed to be two I2C but in the Wizard I can setup just one, can select or the pins for SCL1 & SDA1 or the pins for SCL2 & SDA2
I stup:

Always the place to look is the header file for your chip.

[gjs_rsdi]

Thanks Ttelmah, always useful answers

I see in the header the lines you posted, just don't know how to use them.
Now I understand, as in your example:

[Ttelmah]

The header does actually tell you how they are used. If you look at the
section heading, you see:

Thanks again Ttelmah, I know need to read, sometimes my English not enough

You can help also with the I2C?
Why I can't setup both?

Best wishes

I have created a project and am programming. I want to install more functionality but I don't know how to open and reuse wizard for programming project. Does CCS C support updating function settings by wizard? If there is support, how?

[Ttelmah]

No,
The Wizard is a 'one shot' thing used to create a project. If you want to change
things, change them yourself. You honestly need to learn how to do this,
the Wizard is poor way to actually do things. Restrictive, & does many things
wrong.
