MPLAB 8.43 question

[yfx4]

I have some code in .asm that I want to test in the simulator. How do I simulate a key press (or other input) in MPLAB?? I looked through the manual but can't find it.

Thank You!

Hi,

Open the Debugger\Stimulus\New workbook window , select the tabs corresponding to what you want to do , ( asynchronous for your question ) ... and place your actions and timing.

do not forget to save the .sbs file ...

is this only for ASM?

Hi, Atom

the MPLAB debugger is primarily intended for ASM ... but also works fine with third party compilers ... PicBasicPro, CCS and MikroE recent releases for me. µChip compilers should not be a problem nor, ...

it's also a nice tool to verify program timing ... with the stopwatch !

It works equaly well with compiled programs so long as a proper COFF file exists. Not sure why you said it is primarily for ASM. To work seamlessly with MPLAB a compiler also has to provide some IDE integration for locating errors and maybe a few other things.

But this IS nit picking.

So that is what the Stimulus modules are for. I'll read up on them and try it. Thank you!!!!
