programming problem with the HI-TECH PICC and C complier

[ke]

I used to do a lot of projects with MPLAB programming, now I got multiprogrammer to be programmed by sourceboost, when I am programming, the two compliers mentioned don't recognize the a lot registers for example the register to configue the A to D converter, Timer, CCP and says "unrecognied identifier" by the way I wonder how the clock frequency can be measured accurately, if it is generated by crystal (I can't rotate the potentiometer to exactly 8MHz that I really need.)

Thanks

If the clock is driven by a crystal then the frequency is set to that of the crystal. The potentiometer only adjusts the frequency in RC mode.

Registers in BoostC are lowercase.

Code: Select all

porta = 0x00;    //Set Port A = 0
status = 0;        //Set Status = 0
portb = 0xFF;    //Set Port B = 255

You may need to locate the header file for you PIC, copy it into the local program folder and include it into your code

Code: Select all

#include "p16f84.h"

The header files are normally based near the BoostC compiler in an include folder.
