FIGURE 3-4: WIZARD STEP FOUR: ADD EXISTING FILES

3.1.1.5 SUMMARY

In the final Wizard Dialog window, verify the project parameters and click Finish. To

view the Project window in the MPLAB IDE, select from the menu View

>Project.

The Project window (see Figure 3-5) shows the workspace file name (Lesson 1

LED.mcw) in the title bar, and the project file (Lesson 1 LED.mcp) at the top of the

file tree view. A workspace file keeps track of what files and windows are open, where

the windows are located in the MPLAB IDE workspace, what programmer or debugger

tools are selected and how they are configured, and other information on how the

MPLAB IDE environment is set up. A project file keeps track of all the necessary files

to build a project, including source and header files, library files, Linker Scripts, and

other files.

As shown in Figure 3-5, the Lesson 1 LED project currently contains only one source

file, 01 Hello LED.c, which was added in the Project Wizard.
