This is the message I am getting for any main.c program clean and build command. I discussed with Microchip Engr. reg. versions I am using for MP LAB Xide5.5, , xc8 ver 2.32. she agreed no problem by this. CCS gives message your compiler is expired on this computer, purchaseXC8 compiler. Any body who has gone th’ this problem pl. help me.
Waiting to hear from you.

Hello. It looks like XC8 is not receiving the --chip=18F45K50 argument that it needs, but I do not see the XC8 command in your build output so I am not sure what is going on. I have used MPLAB X and XC8 before but I have not seen any problems like this. If you have not done so already, you might try creating a totally new project in MPLAB X.

Thanks for ur interest in replying to me. This problem started after copying 5 examples into the project. Or may be it is about 60 days after installing free XC8, this is programmed to stop doing compiling. Also CCS message says XC8 compiler ie expired on this system either reinstall or purchase XC8. After reinstalling XC8 and MPlab 5.5 same story. Microchip has replied to down load free compiler in a different method. I will try and let you know what happens.
Bye for now.

micro chip is also viewing, Mr. Giann is looking it. They say XC8 is full free in the google. but no compiling is happening. I am attaching some screen shots . Pl. see any thing I am missing to do while using the MPLAB. Also I have not yet connected PICKIT3/4 to o/p device, will this create any problem for generating hex file?

This is the program I am trying to build on 16f887. But can not build the code. I am very small business man I can not afford to buy dongle or work station now. Pl. see i want to use now for two controller constn. if pic is not free software. I have to try for Arduino or any other free software. how about Arm? Is arduino good for professional work? many people say it is for school projects or hobby work like that. Also I am doing some periferal ckt. since i don’t need to have infinite loop working 24/7, when there is a call it should turn on the MCU and start the loop, after about 10mts. if no call is registered for elevator then MCU shoud stop the loop and stay on standby, is it possible to use sleep mode for this work or can i stop vcc to the MCU if no call is registered with in 10 mts.? Pl. see and solve this issue also.

Waiting to hear from you.

Hi…You should seriously mull over better capacity to the PIC. Carry +5V and GND to the PIC by means of the transports on the proto board then, at that point, associate Vdd/Vss with short wires. Decouple Vdd/Vss as near the PIC as conceivable with a 1uF tantalum cap in corresponding with a .1 clay. Ordinarily, PICs will run OK with practically any hookup however since you are having issues, it’s anything but a poorly conceived notion.

Make certain to really look at the fundamentals, power supply voltage, GND and so on Ensure Vpp can go high without fouling your 5V controller (in spite of the fact that assuming it consistantly programs and checks, it’s likely OK). Check the oscillator is running.

Dear Sir, I am sorry to hear the news about COVID19 situation in USA. Let us pray God to do what is good for USA.

reg. the project:

I could able to resolve the software issue, me & my son deleted 5,6 projects and worked on only one blinking LED and also we reloaded MP LAB5,5, XC8 v 2.32. Now it is working alright. I have some following issues to be clarified from you people.

  1. I am using 16f877a, is it ok, or better to change for a later one?

  2. Do I need MCU to be on power down mode, till any external call comes for elevator then while(1) loop starts? If the cpu is running 24/7, would it reduce the life of MCU? I need design as simple as possible, so pl. suggest me should i include power down mode or sleep mode or keep MCU running 24/7 . power supply saving is not required, since it is fed by mains power not from batteries.

  3. I am using directly port names in if statements is it OK for input ports? or is there any different method to sense state of i/p ports to some user defined names like C1=RA0 etc.? I am attaching the snap shot of the program for more details.

  4. I am attaching some snap shots of the program and error message generated, pl. see how can I build it successfully.

Waiting for your reply,
