18F66J50 DEVICE SUPPORT

[TIMT]

Hi All,

A quick question. I'm considering purchasing the latest version of CCS as I need to work on the 18F66J50 PIC. I've searched the forum for "18F66J50" but found no results. Has anyone had any experience of using CCS for this device? I would be gratefull if anyone who has, could let me know if they have experienced any problems (bugs) as I won't be buying the 12 month updates and I don't want to upgrade if this device is relatively untried (undebugged) with CCS.

Thanks,

I am using the 18F67J50 at present for USB, SPI, I2C, multi-channel A/D and RS-232. I have seen no outstanding issues with the compiler for this device. I AM using a hard coded PLL setup as recommended in this post:

And I found an issue with the CCS USB driver that interferes with the SPI pins as shown in this link:

A work around for this was pretty simple and only comes into play if you are using the first SPI pins and USB.

Thanks bwhiten, Interesting about the SPI and the USB interfering. I may well be using them. Saved me some grief there possibly! Looks like I will be upgrading then. - Unless anyone else has had any other issues.

Thanks again for taking the time.
