Why are only two ports available?

Post by vim »

Why when i add new peripherals do i only have the option of ports A or B? I want to use the zigbee board, LED board and LCD board. When clicking the 'down arrow' on the peripheral window and going to connections i only have the choice of ports A/B.

The port connection options offered in the component properties depend on the selected target device. Devices like the PIC16F88 (20-pin) only contain ports A and B. Only the larger devices, like the PIC16F877A (40-pin), contain ports A to D
