I am getting reacquainted with PIC chips. 10 plus years ago I did a fair amount of assembly language programming using MPLAB ver. ? and a microchip programmer that was in a white box.
Today I am using MPLAB X Ver.2.05 with an PM3 programmer on a Vista machine (I know Vista sucks, Its a spare computer in my shop.)
This is what is happening:
- Sometimes when compiling assembly code I get warnings that I am not on the right bank for the register I am addressing. I recompile the same code and the warnings go away. I compile again and they are back. Ether way the code works as expected.
- PM3 programmer - One day it works perfectly. The next day it appears to function correctly but continues to program the first build entered after power up no matter what I send to it. The only way to program a new build is to power the PM3 down first.
I have gone through the documentation and see no supporting data for the above behavior. I remember that when I used MPLAB 10 years ago it was rock solid.
Has anyone else had these kind of problems with MPLAB X and a PM3 programmer?
Thank you ahead of time. I appreciate your assistance.
