More fun with ws2812 this time XC8 and CLC

For some reason it's running at 6 mhz not 64 and the datasheet made my head hurt because nothing in it will work you get errors im having a time finding the 18f25q10 or 18f26q10 h file then I could see the naming used.
I tried MCC it set up for 64 but it didn't run at it

Now I have a pikit5 it works with IPE but soon as I unplug the dang thing it pops into emergency mode so I have to put in boot mode and reinstall firmware every time I use it

The DotStar strands from Adafruit are way easier to work from because the timing isn't critical - you have a data and clock pin (4-wire with power ). And you can use much higher clock speeds for large refreshes.

i have a working idea im just trying the the pic for fun

Fun?

I been in name hell not nothing matches the data sheet I've fixed errors here for the last 8 hours

8-hours? We have vastly different definitions of "fun"!

Well it would be easy but i can't get a 1000 pages of help like most can
The crystal pins in data sheet for one the pin out don't show any and there new data sheets are awful
Then I tried swordfish and the chip is locked to use intosc so I can't change the configure word easy
Plus this is no day job I work on control wiring for automation PLC VFD high voltage stuff like that.
Oh i forgot i'm 16 years older now my brain half dead lol

I have this working with arduino and 18f252 bit bang but i figure i play with CLC but I think I'll stay with arduino

The 18f25q10 and 18f26q10 maybe not the best chips to play with
