So as XC8 is the latest and greatest where exactly is the list of pragma commands for each chip? I know the datasheets have the old version of doing things, but the tiny help file I got on the XC8 compiler says use PRAGMA.
LGTool wise I think they have stepped way back in time, you mention the little hiccups but the reality is there shouldnt be now now, same with the IDE. Its old enough now that there shouldnt be the kind of bugs it has, I had to reinstall 3 times on win 8.1 before it would install properly.
I havnt looked at all at the pic 33's, I might go and see what sort of packages they come in
What is the project you are going to use it for?
No project in mind, just more a look and see what they have about at the moment. Some reasonable chips around but I still dont see why the pic18f isnt being supported as much, upto 40 pin PDIP and loads of things on the chip. Maybe I should look at 16f range
Many of the dsPIC33EP's and FJ's, at least the lower-pin-count devices, are available in 18- or 28-pin DIP. So are many of the older dsPIC30F's, at least one of which, the dsPIC30f4013, is available in 40-pin DIP.I havnt looked at all at the pic 33's, I might go and see what sort of packages they come in
I do it this way as well for projects with a set end goal, however I have this thing often means I am likely to add tweaks (Engineers call it feature creep I call it imagination), I also often start with a vague idea and direction (like my light and sound project) and let things develop. I really hate running out of IO etc and having to swap chips half way through, loads of reasons why I hate doing it but its a PITA for me.Loads of I/O pins can be useful , but more and more serial, of some description comes into play , I2C is my current starting point, If i have and idea to develop I start with a dev board with maximum peripherals, pins, Mhz , memory , EEprom etc and then condense it down to a minimum requirement , turns out 20 / 28 pins are usually more than enough.
I have that 30F chip, like alot of the 18f's it isnt supported by the configurator. I realize it looks like I am obsessed with it but I have a simple reason, I have been away from pics for a fairly long time, I come back and the tools have really changed. I need to get some things done to my project and could do with some time saving, I can get around most of the problems but its a PITA using the old tool chain when I could be learning the new one.Many of the dsPIC33EP's and FJ's, at least the lower-pin-count devices, are available in 18- or 28-pin DIP.

No, all of the dsPIC30Fs have the DSP engine. The PIC24Fs do not, although in all other respects they're nearly identical to the dsPIC30Fs.I didnt think any of the 30F's were ds pics? I thought the 30F's were simply 16 bit versions of the 16f/18f range?
I had the 24f 30f totally the wrong way around then.No, all of the dsPIC30Fs have the DSP engine. The PIC24Fs do not, although in all other respects they're nearly identical to the dsPIC30Fs.
I've never used the code configurator (I work entire in assembly language). What does it do?
SLCI might be going with a 32 bit part and harmony
I always taught my students ( Techies) RFM...the OWTL Only Way To Learn.I have never used but for what i wanted to do it would have saved chunks of time diving into datasheets.
