Configuration Word Generator for 627A/628A/648A
Hey everyone,
Just wanting to share this generator I have made...
Thanks to dougy83 for the help to finalise the code.
Take a look...

Share your thoughts.
If you are a PIC user/programmer, would you ever use something like this?
Had a look and it's good but I hate the config 0xnnnn type instruction. You should change it so that it uses the labels in the include file.
For example,
From the above I can see what is turned on/off.Code:__config _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _PWRTE_ON & _BODEN_ON & _MCLRE_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _CP_OFF
On the other hand,
means nothing to me.Code:__config 0b10101010011
Sorry to be unsupportive but this is a little bugbear of mine.
However, if you change it to produce the Microchip preferred version then I'll point people to your site.
Mike.
As someone who has been wanting to write a Config' Helper app' for a long time, I commend you for your effort but I'm afraid I have to agree with Pommie.
If I ever do get around to writing that app' it will have radio buttons to select the type of output formatting (assembler, MCC18, BoostC, others.) and a button to copy that text to the clipboard for insertion into the source file. And hey, if you want to take up the cause, that would be great.
Kind regards, Mike
I will take your advice and see what I can do.
It may take a little time as I struggle with Javascript :P
Thanks for the input
Alright.. Its taken 2 hours and 10 minutes...
And i've managed to include 'Microchip preferred version'
I want to do more, but I'm learning by trial and error. So the progress is slow as I do not know much about javascript at all.

Thoughts again please.......
I have 2 problems...
1. What is the 'Microchip preferred version' for the "LVP: Low Voltage Programming Enable" (_LVP_XX???????????)
2. For the oscillator, "011 = EC: I/O function on RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT pin, CLKIN on RA7/OSC1/CLKIN"...
What is EC? What is the 'Microchip preferred version' for that?
I couldn't seem to find it on page 503 of the http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/e...Doc/33023a.pdf
Check the include file for each chip you're using, the definitions are declared there.

Very well done,
The Microchip values can be found in file P16F628A.INC which you will find in C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite , they are,
So, again, well done, rep++.Code:_BODEN_ON EQU H'3FFF' ;Backwards compatability to 16F62X _BODEN_OFF EQU H'3FBF' ;Backwards compatability to 16F62X _BOREN_ON EQU H'3FFF' _BOREN_OFF EQU H'3FBF' _CP_ON EQU H'1FFF' _CP_OFF EQU H'3FFF' _DATA_CP_ON EQU H'3EFF' _DATA_CP_OFF EQU H'3FFF' _PWRTE_OFF EQU H'3FFF' _PWRTE_ON EQU H'3FF7' _WDT_ON EQU H'3FFF' _WDT_OFF EQU H'3FFB' _LVP_ON EQU H'3FFF' _LVP_OFF EQU H'3F7F' _MCLRE_ON EQU H'3FFF' _MCLRE_OFF EQU H'3FDF' _RC_OSC_CLKOUT EQU H'3FFF' _RC_OSC_NOCLKOUT EQU H'3FFE' _ER_OSC_CLKOUT EQU H'3FFF' ;Backwards compatability to 16F62X _ER_OSC_NOCLKOUT EQU H'3FFE' ;Backwards compatability to 16F62X _INTOSC_OSC_CLKOUT EQU H'3FFD' _INTOSC_OSC_NOCLKOUT EQU H'3FFC' _INTRC_OSC_CLKOUT EQU H'3FFD' ;Backwards compatability to 16F62X _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT EQU H'3FFC' ;Backwards compatability to 16F62X _EXTCLK_OSC EQU H'3FEF' _HS_OSC EQU H'3FEE' _XT_OSC EQU H'3FED' _LP_OSC EQU H'3FEC'

arr thanks nigel and mike,
I looked for that but went to the wrong directory in MPLAB.
Ok, I've smoothed out the errors, I think... I just need a couple of people to give it a quick check;

once it's error free, i will create a propper link to it from my page.
Thanks for all the input and help...
Oh another thing, Are you happy with the defaults?

This is the way I create a CONFIG when using a new PIC.Originally Posted by Nigel Goodwin
Copy and Paste all the CONFIG's for the PIC's you use most into a 'Headers.txt' file.
Doing it this you can also add the PIC type include, list and error level files to the Header.txt file.
A quick copy/paste to a new program, edit as required and you can start writing the program.

Oh wow! Very nice!
Can you do the other hundred or so PIC devices for us all now, please (grin).
Kind regards, Mike

haha i thought that when i was half way through...
I will probably do the ones i commonly experiment with...
16F877, 16F737, 12F629...
then If there are any popular requests...
Anyways, new permentant link for those who might see this post in the future...

Jake,
All I can see from your page is a dark black background and faint white letters that I hardly could read. Is that normal?
Agustín Tomás
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is.
The page is not 100% black and the writing should be clearly visibale and reabable.
If it appears dark and hard to read, i'd say your monitor is darker than everyone elses.
I would agree with Eric, the colour choices are very bad giving poor readability.
