Working with the New MPLAB® Xpress

Get started working with the new MPLAB® Xpress by reviewing requirements, logging into myMicrochip, and finding example projects.

Before You Begin

  • Google™ Chrome™
  • Mozilla™ Firefox™

Support for these browsers is being developed:

  • Apple® Safari®
  • Opera
  • Microsoft Edge®

Accessing MPLAB Xpress

Go to the website to get started using the new MPLAB Xpress.

Using Example Projects

Find example projects as follows:

  • Click on the icon for MPLAB Discover MPLABDiscover_Icon.png and search for example projects.
  • Use Git to open projects migrated from the previous MPLAB Xpress. See the next section for details.

Creating Your Own Code

Create a new project in MPLAB Xpress by clicking NewProject_Icon.png. Then:
  • Generate your own code using source code templates. Right click on the Source Files folder in your project
  • Use MPLAB Code Configurator MCC.png to help you create code for your application. You don't need to add any source files to your new project; MCC will generate the files, even main(), for you. You can then edit main() to make use of the code generated in the other files for your application

For more on projects, see MPLAB X IDE Projects.
