I started learning pic using
p16F887ap16f877a and was looking for a good simulation program, that's why i'm hereEverything is neat and well thought so i want to keep using it
It seems to be
p16F887p16f877 is supported butp16F887ap16f877a isn'tI want to add support for
p16F887ap16f877a, but i don't know where to begin, if you would be so kind to show me some tutorials and such to help me, i would be gratefulThanks for reading until end
Edit: I somehow managed to confuse the mcu model, correct ones are green colored, sorry for mistake

I think p16F887 and p16F887a are mostly the same.
Do you know about any significant difference?.

I found a device migration document online, may be it'll help us: https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39591a.pdf

I think there is no problem in using p16F887 model in simulide asp16F887a.

Yes, it seems that for most part they're interchangeable, so i'll use it as is.
But still, it would be nice to fully add p16F887a as a seperate component as well
And, thanks to they being almost identical, it must be easy.
I would like to contribute and this is the most low hanging fruit i could possible take 😀
Is there a tutorial or any documentation for adding new microcontrollers?
