  In some projects when you try to compile the code, there can be an error Not enough ROM space when you add a single additional line of code, even if before you added it you saw you have more than enou...

• Setting IRP bit for P16 and P16ENH

  Pointers with PIC16 are “near”: they carry only the lower 8 bits of the address. Compiler will automatically clear the 9th bit upon startup, so that pointers will refer to banks 0 and 1. To access the...
