![]() ![]() We’ve put together a document that describes the mechanisms used in the system to allow a board developer to describe the features of a new board to the system and allow the system to use the new board without the need to modify any of the core hardware abstraction layer code or standard libraries. ![]() The chipKIT MPIDE system has been designed to make it relatively easy to adapt the operation of the system to new hardware as boards are designed. That being said, good luck not mixing them up now! Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE, however, has always been a debugging environment in addition to being an editor and integrating a compiler. Debugging was not built into Arduino IDE, but most people use “printf()” statements and the Serial Monitor to help debug their programs/sketches. It simply works as an editor allowing you to compile your code and program it to your target board (via the bootloader). ![]() ![]() Since MPIDE was ported from the original Arduino IDE, and since Arduino was meant to be simple and easy to use, there wasn’t a whole lot of functionality built into the IDE from the beginning. However, I would like to preface that article with the following points. For a quick summary of the differences between using MPIDE (Multi-Platform IDE) and MPLAB X IDE check out this MPIDE vs MPLAB IDE blogpost by Digilent. So it’s not difficult to see that if the names mix you up and you don’t really know that much about either of them, you might wonder what distinguishes the two and why you’d want to use one over the other. MPIDE and MPLAB IDE are a close second they just sound too much alike. For example, I can easily mix up chipKIT and PICkit, especially if I’m tired and I’m not thinking well. If you’re like me, mixing up things that sound alike is not difficult to do. If you create a watch variable, you can see the values change between each step. On the bottom of the window, you can see the variable tab where you are able to create watch variables. MPLAB X IDE: In a debugging environment, you can put a breakpoint wherever you want to stop the code from running. ![]()
