The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for Microchip 8-bit PIC MCU tool for Great Cow BASIC helps to automatically generate the PPS configuration code for your program in GCB. It can work in conjunction with GCB@Syn, or as a standalone program.
The intent is the simply the configuration of PPS in seconds with ease.
PPS Tool in included v0.97.00, or greater, of the Great Cow BASIC distribution.
The tool support PPS capable microcontrollers. Not all are supported as we are dependent on Microchip to provide the critical support files. The tool is easy to update and in a future version of PPS Tool updates will be notified to the user and updated automatically.
How do I use it?
Run the software from the IDE icon, orm directly: You may get asked for the location of the Microchip Pin Manager files.
Choose the chip that you are using from the dropdown list.
From the input and output sections, choose the peripheral and pin number that you want to map to each other then click the Add button.
The code will appear on the right of the screen and can be copied into your GCB code. Clicking Copy will copy it to the clipboard and then into the IDE.
If you make a mistake, you need to start over which you can do by clicking the Clear button
Minimum system requirements
The program requires .NET Framework 4, which has the following minimum system requirements:
Windows XP, 1.0 GHz processor and 512 Mb of RAM

If you want the latest XML files from Microchip. I have implemented a daily check to transfer the latest chip files in the correct format for the PPSTool.
See https://sourceforge.net/projects/gcbasic/files/Support%20Files/PPSTool/ the ZIP and the readme show the upload date and the version - always keep the XML up to date by downloading and manually installing to the devices folder.
