With Positron Studio 2.0.2.2 you can now download Microchip(R) Data and errata sheets on the device in your current project.  These files can be saved locally for quick access.

Other changes include:
Fixed Access Violation when opening files in 32bit OS's.
Minor Highlighter improvements.

John, Avast returns false positive unlike before.

[JohnB]

The addition I have made requires connecting out to the web to retrieve the Microchip datasheets. Maybe that is what is triggering the alert. Avast has done this before on earlier versions of this program. Be assured there is no malware in Positron Studio.

Norton360 is happy with it.

@trastikata Have Avast come back to you - are you still blocked?

[trastikata]

@JohnB
 
It was unlocked yesterday after couple of hours.

It seems that if you have I-net Avast will connect and check with their servers and will unlock the file immediately if it has been cleared before by others. I downloaded a new copy and ran the file, Avast complained about a suspicious file but after few seconds released the file and gave a good to install.

Glad you are sorted

I'm on Winblows10, when I try to download datasheet or errata I get "unable to download" I have given Positron an exception through my firewall, what else do I need to open up?

[JohnB]

I don't believe you need to set anything up.

I am using "https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/" as the root directory with the document file name. 
 e.g. https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/70293G.pdf

If that works you should be able to download the files.

why i took these errors after for each compiling

why i took these errors after for each compiling

Did you copy/paste? I have had problem with copy and paste. Typing the code solves the problem for me

[okmn]

no copy paste i did.
i runed 2 samples codes  in positron samples menu/list direct!

i also tried some others samples  in samples list of positron default now
the result is same when i pressed "compile" creatig same error

Hello JohnB,

   Thanks for all the Effort and Hard work on this IDE. I really commend your sacrifice and Dedication.

  I downloaded your latest version and tried to get the datasheet by clicking on the blue exclamation point
By the device at the bottom of the editor screen. I get a error "unable to download file"  any ideas?

Thanks

Charlie

@charliem see my response to Gary Scott try the link out if you can get that you should be able to get others.

I am not having problems here and I'm on windows 10

Here is what I get with the provided link

Code Select Expand

An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #132.2dfb3b17.1618183438.179b49ed

[JohnB]

I can get that error if the actual link is incorrect or incomplete e.g.

https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/702x3G.pdf

both produce that error but

https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/70293G.pdf

returns the page.

It is possible that there are errors or more likely out of date links in the link file as these have been scraped from the site.

Stephen Moss has pointed me to a file which comes with MPLAB X which might contain suitable link information.  I will look into it for the next release.

Hi Charlie

What device are you using, then the link info can be checked

[DaveS]

Hi John

I have ran a test on all links in the files, I supplied and found one invalid link to a Pdf file, P18F84J90 datasheet file only.

Dave

[JohnB]

@DaveS Thank you, they haven't reported back to me which device they were trying to get the datasheet from so I cannot take the issue further without more information.

 I tried it with 12F675 , 10F200, 16F88 none of these worked to open a datasheet.
