Privacy PolicySimplify Embedded Development with MPLAB® Code Configurator
MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC) is a free graphical programming environment that generates seamless, easy-to-understand C code to insert into your project. Using an intuitive interface, it enables and configures a rich set of peripherals and functions specific to your application. It supports our 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit devices, which include our PIC®, AVR® and SAM microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). Both the downloadable MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the cloud-based MPLAB Xpress IDE include MCC.
MCC consists of three content types: MCC Melody, MCC Classic and MPLAB Harmony. It offers application libraries and system and peripheral drivers for the development of embedded software.
The MCC Content Manager Tool (CMT) within MCC allows you to select the type of content and gives you better flexibility by supporting content management and versioning at an individual component level.
