I, like Pommie, am getting a bit cheesed off with mikroE..
There Microchip support has suffered because they are moving to ARM... They haven't updated software because they are too pushed to allow development.. The stellaris, ST32 and Tiva are dominating their development at this time..
They have a weird optimizer that I have to turn off or I get compiler errors... Libraries cannot co-exist with each other and no way of changing library code... The documentation is incorrect..
As it stands... I have ported ALL my own libraries and use the compiler with normal optimization...
Sorry for the rant!!!
The easypicpro v7 does state that your chip is supported, but as you cannot buy the 44 pin mcu card I can't see how...
