Glad it helped! I haven't used MPLAB 8 for ages, but the biggest push for me was the desire to use ICSP and the PICkit3 programmer. Have you thought about jumping in at the deep end and trying the latest version of MPLAB X IDE with the new XC8-AS assembler rather than sticking with MPASM? I posted a video here th-cam.com/video/VEvMtWZt9QE/w-d-xo.html
@@PizzeyTechnology I'm using version MPLAB X 5.35. I bought a few newer mid level PICs and one wasn't supported by MPLAB 8, and it would be more work to work-around the issue (trying to stay with MPLAB 8) than it was worth. I'm not ready to try XC8-AS ( I didn't know it existed until I read the comments following one of your videos). I perhaps will someday. I find MPLAB X is information overkill for when I'm doing relatively simply stuff in assembler. I have no interest (yet) in moving to 'C', I don't need to use 'libraries' etc... I try to write everything from scratch myself. That way when something doesn't work... I know I'm the problem and work toward the solution. I'm like Grover from Sesame Street... not the brightest bulb, but I don't give up. P.S. Thanks for the link to the XC8-AS Transition Guide. I will have a look at it. I quickly 'scrubbed' through it while writing this reply... definitely worth viewing! You've put a lot of effort in it. Thanks again.
Great Video.I got a good knowledge.I am trying to program a pic16f876A using assembly.I've downloaded mplab v5.40 recently.It does not have mpasm compiler.It has pic-as v2.2.Does it work like the mpasm or I have to download the mpasm compiler.Any thoughts...
I'm glad you liked the video. I have installed (or reinstalled) MPLAB-X on several computers and never had a problem. As far as I recall, the MPASM assembler was automatically included in the download and installation package. I believe that one of my students may have had a problem getting the compiler to work (or perhaps it was not installed) and I think the fix may have been to remove MPLAB-X and then reinstall. It was not something that I was personally involved with so I don't have any details. I hope you get it working.
@Supun Chathuranga Did you download and install a recent version of MPLAB X IDE? MPLABX 5.40 (64 bit only) does not include MPASM (32 bit and therefore deprecated) so you will need to install an earlier version (I'm currently using MPLAB X IDE v5.30 with MPASM) or use XC8-AS instead. Does that help?
You have installed a 64 bit IDE and this does not support the 32 bit mpasm assembly tool chain. If you need to use mpasm then you can download an older version of the IDE from the microchip archive. 5.45 was the final 32 bit version if I remember correctly.
Thank for this simple presentation but great help to me
Thank you. I was reluctant to use the new MPLAB X. I'm used using the earlier MPLAB 8 (and earlier) . This helped.

Thx it's been a while (10 years) I did not touch a 16F88 and I was a bit lost with this new mplab.
No problem. I'm always glad to help.
thank you professor!
I don't seem to have the mpasm compiler
I've tried searching for it, and cannot find it
Where do you install it from?

I have not mpasm, I only have xc8 can you help me with this?
Do you need help using xc8, or downloading the MPASM assembler?

I do not have mpasm in my MPLAB X IDE
What version of mplab X IDE are you using?
@@PizzeyTechnology 5.50

I think i must download MPLAB X IDE with versions below 5.4
And thanks for help 🌹
@@PizzeyTechnology help for me, thx!
thank you
That's great. I'm glad I could be of help. What are you building?
