I have been working on a project that will include a 16C65 and two PIC14000s all interconnected with an I2C bus. I have been anxiously awaiting the release of MPLAB-SIM to begin coding and simulation. I downloaded it yesterday and unfortunately, none of the above is supported by MPLAB-SIM. I guess I'm not surprised that I2C is not supported, because it wasn't in the DOS simulator either. And the PIC14000 is still new, so that wasn't a big surprise either. But I am surprised that the 16C65 isn't supported because that was in the old simulator. Isn't this a step backward? I wonder why the 16C65 isn't in the new simulator? I suppose I can make progress using the 16C64 environment for awhile. Any ideas on when to expect a release that supports the PIC14000, and the I2C function? Dewey Davis

Dewey, You would be better off using the 16C74 instead of the 16C64 as it has the same RAM and ROM size as the 16C65. The support for the 16C65 is planned, but getting the 16C5X, the baseline 16CXX, and the 17CXX parts out in the first release was our priority. You can expect the 16C65 support, as well as the 14000 support, in a few months.

Dewey: Use the 16C74 environment instead; it's much more similar to the 16C65 than is the 16C64. -Andy Andrew Warren - fastfwdKILLspamix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499

There's an MPLAB bug^H^H^Hfeature - make sure you have the program window (NOT the source window) selected as the active window before stepping. Then it should update the source window ok. But if you have the source window active, it does not update it. Clyde -- Clyde Smith-Stubbs | HI-TECH Software, | Voice: +61 7 3300 5011 clydespam_OUThitech.com.au | P.O.

Here's another MPLAB question.....Why can't I enable MPLAB-SIM in MPLAB 3.22? The install program indicated it would be installed. What am I missing here, besides a few dozen IQ points?
