Main.c

Step 9 - Add the following code to the end of the main.c file:

void main(void)
{
    // initialize the device
    SYSTEM_Initialize();

    while (1)
    {
        // Add your application code

        if (Switch_GetValue() == 0)
            {
            LED_SetHigh();
            }
        else
            {
            LED_SetLow();
            }

    }
}

The Switch_GetValue(), LED_SetHigh() and, LED_SetLow() are #define's and macros that were generated by the MCC. Their definitions are located in the pin_manager.h file.

#define Switch_GetValue()           PORTBbits.RB4
#define LED_SetHigh()            do { LATAbits.LATA4 = 1; } while(0)
#define LED_SetLow()             do { LATAbits.LATA4 = 0; } while(0)

This is a simple example of how the MCC generates a library of useful functions to make creating project code much easier and quicker.

Step 10 - Click on the Build Project icon (the hammer) to compile the code. You should see a BUILD SUCCESSFUL message in the output window.
