I've created a project using a Microchip 16F1827. The C code compiles without incident. However, when I "compile to Hex", I get errors such as this:

I checked the "include" directory for BoostC and did not find a 16F1827.h file. Is the absence of this file's causing my errors? Is this chip not supported by the BoostC compiler?

Thanks,
Ron

I checked BoostC's forum and learned that they were to released a file for the 16F1827 in March of 2010. Do Matrix have the updated chip files? Do you have a newer version of BoostC that I need to install?

Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron,
Yes 16F1827 is currently only supported by Hitec compiler. See:
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... =26&t=6812
There is a planned free upgrade of Flowcode V4 soon which includes the newer boost C so will support the 16F18xx range of microcontrollers.
I'm sure someone who works for Matrix will be able to confirm the date of planned upgrade.

Hello,

The upgrade is on the way however we are cramming in a lot of new features and some of these are not quite ready for release yet.

Thank you, Martin!

Benj, keep me in mind if you need a beta tester. Thanks.
