Re: absolute

If it overlays another variable, then that may / may not be an unintended consequence. Generally though, it is used to map a variable onto a microchip SFR. You c...

Re: makro parameter type

You can use overloaded inline subs. There is an assignment cost but without knowing what you are trying to do, I don't know if it's worth it...

Re: Missing the final compiler's line on the IDE

Do you mean the summary window is not appearing after a successful compile? If so, select VIEW...EDITOR OPTIONS and make sure that "display full summary after successful comp" is enabled.

Re: Illogical compilation error

I've seen similar problems in the past (but not HID related) where the rules behind a driver implementation are tightened up - showing up a problem that was there from the beg...

Re: USB problems with windows 10

I haven't personally seen any issues with HID and win10 (yet). It's unusual for HID to give problems (unlike CDC which nearly always has a driver issue). When you say connection issues, is it connecting then dropping off? Or does it sometimes fail to connect completely? It could possibly be a descri...

Re: Problem with the path to the Library folder

You will see an *.idf file if you have COFF enabled. For example:

myProgram.bas

will generate

myProgram.idf

in the same folder as your *.bas file

Re: Problem with the path to the Library folder

It's located in the same folder as your main program *.bas file. Ensure that:

View...Compile and Program Options
"Generate debugger COFF file"

is enabled

Re: Problem with the path to the Library folder

The priority is:

(1) folder that contains the main program you are compiling

then

(2) swordfish user library

then

(3) swordfish standard library

it has always been like that - no changes have been made to include lookup priorities

Re: UMC Build Error

You will need to install a version of MPLAB (it's still available from the microchip site to download). The builder will not work with MPLABX.
