Hi All

Does anyone perhaps know why I can't compile any PIC projects?, I keep getting this error message below, any help would be greatly appreciated

Looks like you have manually changed the path of the default compiler.
Can you double check on your PC the actual location of and adjust the compiler path within edited batch file accordingly.

Thanks for the reply, somehow I don't have xc8-cc.exe is completely missing, is there something I can install?

Apart from Flowcode itself you need to install the compiler package(s) for the target controller(s). You seem to be missing the PIC 8 bit compiler.

If you login to the Matrix website you can choose to download Flowcode. Just below the Flowcode download there is a ‘line’ Download Toolchains. You need to download and install ‘8bit PIC Toolchain’.

Thanks!

I will give it a go!
