PIC16F150x missing Oscillator selections

[Kenrix2]

In the device configuration for the PIC16f150x series, EXTRC, HS, XT and LP are missing from the Oscillator selection.

Hello,

I have just checked the 16F1503 and 16F1507 device datasheets and the config settings you mention do not seem to exist, so it looks like the definition files are correct.

The settings do exist for the 16F1508 and 16F1509 and should already be available in the config section.

Maybe the 16F1503 and 16F1507 devices do not have the hardware to support external crystals.

Perhaps my version is out of date. Checking for updates says no updates available. Yet, for a specific chip the PIC16F1509 it does not have those selections. Could it be because I have the Chip Pack version?

Hello,

No the chip pack and pro versions are identical, the only difference is the more advanced components and things like scopes, consoles etc will only work with a Pro license.

It may have been a more recent fix to the definition files, here are the current versions.

The files need to live in your "Flowcode 6/FCD/PIC" folder.

Thank you so much for the update and for pointing out the fact that the 16F1503 and 16F1507 micro's do not have those settings. That was my error. The timely service of Matrixtsl is amazing.
