Change chip

[PicoPuls]

I have a project with chip 16F877 and I would like to change the chip to the more modern 16F887
How is that done in Flowcode without starting over with a NEW empty design from beginnning ?
Thanks and best regards

Hi PicoPuls,
You can change the target device without starting from scratch.
To do that can you take a look at this Wiki page please.
If you get stuck then if you look at matrixtsl home page, then you can hover over support.
There you will see links that include Wiki and Lerning Centre.
If you are still stuck then we are happy to help on the forums if we are able to.

The way I do it is quite easy.
When I have a project and I want to use a different controller I go to: "Build" , "Project Options", "Choose Target" and change this one to the new controller.

Be sure to change the clock settings and the pin-out in your project for the new controller.

Hello,

The 16F1937 may be a better option than the 16F887. It's newer, cheaper, has more features and is pin compatible
