Hi,
Which version of MPLAB are you using?

 

[m_saeed_soliman]

version 8.00
i downloaded it 2 weeks ago

As I said earlier, why don't you use MAPASMWIN for now? It would allow you to assemble the code and get a working hex file. Meanwhile you can investigate what the problem with MPLAB is. Fors sure it's not the code, as it's been assembled with no errors (just the two irrelevant warnings about bank switching)

BCF    STATUS,RP0

or

BSF    STATUS,RP0

i have tried this but i faced a problem
when i come to assembling it says " program length may not exceed 62 charachters"
what is the solution

It cannot handle long filenames. Place the asm file in C:\leds\ for example and it will work.

 

[m_saeed_soliman]

yes, it worked. thank you
if you can more help me , please tell me what to do about Mplab
thanks
another thig please
Here in Egypt , We do not have Official Microchip prgrammer
so can MPlab program a PIC using a hand-made programmer of serial type or i will have to use winpic
thanks after all

Hi,
Just got my MPLAB v8.0 installed, it works well. I was using v7.6.
Have you tried reinstalling it? Any third party software with programmer will work well

Will v8 run on windows 98?

Why are you running that antique? That's like 50 years ago in computer-years!

Cause' thats all I got, as I have said, my desktop is a Mac, much better than xp or vista.

 

[wmmullaney]

ok, well I'll stick to v7.whatever then.


***sigh***

You'll have to program the *.hex file created by MPLAB into the PIC using winpic. Or you can build your own ICD clone like the inchworm which will work from MPLAB:

I'd recommend buying the kit, but you can also build your own using the schematic and firmware supplied.
