After you compile in MPLAB, open the meProg software, then use File > Open to bring up the hex file you just created. If you wish, go to the View menu and select “Stay on top”. This will force the programmer window to stay on top of the MPLAB window for easy access. In the Options menu, you can check “Reread file before programming”. This will force the programmer to always get the latest version of your hex file. As long as you leave meProg open, you can just click the Program button to update the PICMicro with the newly compiled version of the hex file.
