About to order the above Explorer board etc. but first trying out the FreeRTOS download from git hub and opening it in MPLAB X IDE 6.25. I’ve used this IDE and PIC24F in all my projects to date, but what a nightmare git hub is. - can anyone offer a decent PIC24F.X project file that will run without errors finding .h files etc? Thanks in advance ---

Hi @TimnMK, Welcome to FreeRTOS forum! I found this demo which is PIC24: [Demo/PIC24\_MPLAB](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS/tree/main/FreeRTOS/Demo/PIC24_MPLAB). Would you like to try this? Thank you. ---

Thanks Actory, that is the one I am trying out. I seem to have it compiling correctly now (by leaving everything in the original git download directory instead of copying to another) - I’ll order the boards now!
