6.6 Project Setup

To set up an MPLAB X IDE project for the first time, use the built-in Project Wizard (File>New Project). In this wizard, you will be able to select a language toolsuite that uses the 16-bit language tools. For more on the wizard and MPLAB X IDE projects, see MPLAB X IDE documentation.

Once you have a project set up, you may then set up properties of the tools in MPLAB X IDE (see figure below).

  1. From the MPLAB X IDE menu bar, select File>Project Properties to open a window to set/check project build options.
  2. Under “Conf:[default],” select a tool from the tool collection to set up.
