Get over it, you have to with V4.# and above XC32, all the old plib.h and config etc functions are completely gone. If you don’t want it you’ll have to use V2.# of the XC32 compiler (we skipped V3.#, not sure on that one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standalone Project<\/p>\n
The typical straightforward project choice.<\/p>\n
(Don’t use if you are going to be using Harmony libraries, or if only “MPLAB Harmony” is available for your device within MCC once you create the project and run MCC the first time – in this case you MUST create your project as a “32-bit MCC Harmony Project”. If you select “Standalone Project” and MCC Harmony you’ll get a confusing corrupt config error when you try and use MCC).<\/p>\n

Select the device<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Select the debugging tool<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Select the Compiler to use<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set project name and \u201cSet as main project\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the MPLAB Code Configurator to setup all your peripherals, uC settings etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add your initial project files to the projects \u201cProjectName.X\u201d directory (not the “\/firmware\/src\/” directory that has the main.c in it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right click the project > Add Existing Item > Select the files<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drag them into the Header Files and Source File folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old MPLAB allowed you to use this macro in code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
__DEBUG<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nto detect if a debug or release mode was selected. It was just built in, but its not in MPLAB X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So add this to a global header file when debugging:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n#ifndef __DEBUG\n\t#define __DEBUG\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/<<<<< COMMENT OUT FOR RELEASE\n#endif\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCompiler Settings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
