    If you are using the free version of MicroCode, download the latest version here.

    If you are using MicroCode Studio Plus, try updating the software with the toolbar update button. If this doesn't get it, you can add PICMicros manually by editing the file "PIC.INI", which is found in the MCSP install directory. (C:\Program Files\Mecanique\MCSP)

  3. How do I limit the number of MCUs displayed in the MCS drop down combo? (version 2.2.1.0 or later)

    Create a file called 'ExcludeIDE.ini' and put it in your COMPILER installation folder. Just add the items you don't want to be displayed and then restart the MCS IDE.

    This linked example excludes all devices in the MCS drop down combo for PBP 2.46 and below, except for the 16F876 and 16F877 devices.

    Create a file called 'ExcludeIDE.ini' and put it in your COMPILER installation folder. Just add the name of the file (no extension) that you don't want to be displayed and then restart the MCS IDE.
