It is possible to set up the microEngineering Labs programmers for one-keystroke programming so that one keystroke (F10) or a mouse click on the Compile and Program icon will.
1. Open the programmer software
2. Compile the program
3. Check it for errors
4. Send the program to the PIC in the programmer
5. Shut down and close the programmer window
6. Run the program in the PIC
The following instructions outline the process:
1. Open the MicroCode Studio editor
2. Pull down the View menu and select PICBASIC options
Under the programmer bar, select the programmer you are using as the default programmer.
Click Edit and enter the name of the programmer file (meprog.exe).
Click Next.
Let the program find the file. If it cannot find the file for it manually…
Click Next.
In the file name parameters, at the end of the line add a space, -p, another space, and -x. The entry now ends in… filename -p -x
Do not omit the two spaces preceding each - sign.
Having done this, whenever you want to transfer the program you are editing to the PIC, just press F10 or click the compile and program icon.
