Hence here we are going to do a small practical Observation. Now as I have mentioned before that you will notice that the size of the. The schematics are same as shown in my previous post. If you have a pickit already attached then you can program directly or you can use other programmers to burn the output.

The output window at the bottom will also show the location of. If everything goes right then the output windows below will display a Build Successful message. We are just going to replicate our previous tutorial with a different IDE.

For testing the Mplab X IDE we are going to use the same source code from one of my previous tutorial where we coded a pic18f with Mplab ide for blinking an led. It will open a default source code template you are ready for coding with Mplab X. Select your desired Name, the extension must be C and then finally click finish.

Select XC8 C compiler from the list of compiler which I assume you must have installed after installing Mplab X IDE and finally type a project name - and you are ready for coding. Then select the hardware tool from the list, if you have any programmer like pickit2 connected then select pickit2 or go with the defaults and click next. Select the microcontroller family or directly type the name of the microcontroller in the device name. Creating a project is easy in Mplab X, just open the IDE and proceed to project wizard from file menu. Lot of programmer who have the habit of programming with old versions of IDE sometimes find it little difficult to work with latest Mplab X versions, But it is really not so hard, once you get to know it more. The older version of Mplab projects can still be imported into the latest Mplab X without any difficulty with project wizard.

Hence now microchip integrated most of its different compiler toolsuite into one XC8 compiler for Mplab x which support all 8, 16 and 32 bit microcontroller family. In traditional Mplab IDE you had to be selective about the type of the compiler, for the family of microcontroller you are coding. Hence compiling with Mplab X can save a lot of space. Apart from better looks and interface, one of the most amazing thing which can be noticed is the size of output after compilation the hex file.ДЄfter coding and compiling the sample codes from my previous tutorialsI found that the compiled output hex files by XC8 were way smaller in size than that of the output from old Mplab IDE and C18 compiler. So the programmer does not have to be confined to a windows computer only, as it was the case with old versions of Mplab IDE.

Now a days developer IDE for any programming language are Hi-end, like visual studio or Eclipse which provides better interface and features, but Microchips older versions of IDE never had these features of autocomplete and suggestions while writing the codes.Д«efore installing you might want to update java for the installation to run smooth. In this tutorial we will see some basic and advanced features and benefits while coding with Mplab X over the traditional Mplab IDE. It is launched with better features, interfaces and is quiet advanced IDE then the old version of Mplab which were introduced in the past.
