Install the MPLAB® Harmony Configurator (MHC)

Before you create a new MPLAB® Harmony project, you must install the MPLAB Harmony Configurator (MHC) graphical user interface. This GUI enables easy addition and configuration of the Harmony library files needed for your application. It also allows MPLAB X IDE to create a new MPLAB Harmony project.

  2. Select the Microchip Embedded category if it is not already selected.
  3. From the Projects list, select MPLAB Harmony Project.

The next window should have the default Harmony Path, Project Location, and Project Path already selected for you. Remember the MPLAB Harmony framework expects to find specific files in specific locations. Do not change these default paths because the project may not build.

  1. Set the Harmony installation path.
  2. Set the project location.
  3. Enter the project name you would like to use.
  4. Change the project configuration name or just use default (optional).
  5. Select the target device from the drop-down window (Which PIC32 is on my board?).
  6. Click Finish.
