How to rename a project for troubleshooting code.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE

Does anyone know how to save the projects in the Motorware labs to another name without causing CCS to crash? I had an instance where I wanted to see if some code I added to a project was causing a problem. I needed to see if it was a hardware or software issue. So I saved the code of Lab 05b to Potentiometer. CCS did not like that at all. Before even compiling I had 55 errors and the folder disappeared when I restarted CCS. I had start completely over with a new set of projects. How can I save a project to a different name and then import a clean project from the working directory?

    I've never tried to rename a project that had already been imported....I don't even see how you would do that in CCS.

    before you import you can create a copy of a project, then go update the folders and the .project etc. inside the project folder. it will then import fine.

    Chris,
    If you right click on the project name you get the option to Rename. You can also save as. It's ok though, I finally got everything working. I was just wondering how you could save a project you modded to a different name and then import the original project. The idea being that if the original code compiled and ran ok, then the project with the modded code would be suspect. Otherwise, you would focus on a hardware problem.

    Thanks.
