“MCC Melody” is the newest that you should use if it is available for your device. <<Do this!! We have found devices that are not properly supported by Classic that we’ve wasted ages on trying to get working but when re-generating the project and using Melody suddenly all of the peripherals etc are there and working properly!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “MCC Classic” is the old typical option to go with, but Harmony maybe what you want to be able to utilize all the special more advanced use case libraries that Harmony provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add any special libraries (you’ll be prompted for all the normal peripherals after pressing Finish).<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the next stage setup all the config by adding the modules you want to use and adjusting settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When done from the “Generate” button (in top left Project Resources box). Check for any errors in the Output window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Press the MCC button to close the Code Configurator view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The MCC will have created a main.c file for your project, plus various other driver files in folder “\\mcc_generated_files”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create your own main and init functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\nSimple way to integrate your project files with the MCC generated main.c file<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
