Sorry for such a basic question.

I have an LED on pin 26 / RB15 of a PICmx250f120b. How do I figure out which pin this corresponds to in an Arduino sketch? My understanding is that Arduino has pins D0-D13 & A0-A5

Thanks

The pins are mapped through a number of tables in the file Board_Data.c in the board's variant folder.

You have a port table which tells you which port each pin is (indexed by the logical pin number that you would use in digitalWrite() etc) and a pin number table that gives you which pin within a port each logical pin refers to.

So for example in the ckPI file you have:

const uint8_t digital_pin_to_port_PGM[] = {
    // Pins 0 through 18
    _IOPORT_PA, //  0   RA4     SOSCO/RPA4/T1CK/CTED9/PMA1/RA4
    _IOPORT_PB, //  1   RB4     SOSCI/RPB4/RB4
    _IOPORT_PB, //  2   RB5     TMS/RPB5/USBID/RB5
    _IOPORT_PB, //  3   RB13    AN11/RPB13/CTPLS/PMRD/RB13
    _IOPORT_PB, //  4   RB1     PGEC1/AN3/C1INC/C2INA/RPB1/CTED12/PMD1/RB1 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _IOPORT_PB, //  5   RB0     PGED1/AN2/C1IND/C2INB/C3IND/RPB0/PMD0/RB0 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _IOPORT_PA, //  6   RA2     OSC1/CLKI/RPA2/RA2 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _IOPORT_PA, //  7   RA3     OSC2/CLKO/RPA3/PMA0/RA3 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _IOPORT_PB, //  8   RB10    PGED2/RPB10/D+/CTED11/RB10
    _IOPORT_PB, //  9   RB11    PGEC2/RPB11/D-/RB11
    _IOPORT_PB, // 10   RB7     TDI/RPB7/CTED3/PMD5/INT0/RB7
    _IOPORT_PA, // 11   RA1     PGEC3/VREF-/CVREF-/AN1/RPA1/CTED2/PMD6/RA1
    _IOPORT_PB, // 12   RB8     TCK/RPB8/SCL1/CTED10/PMD4/RB8
    _IOPORT_PB, // 13   RB14    CVREF/AN10/C3INB/RPB14/VBUSON/SCK1/CTED5/RB14
    _IOPORT_PA, // 14   RA0     PGED3/VREF+/CVREF+/AN0/C3INC/RPA0/CTED1/PMD7/RA0 (Jumper to either Arduino Analog 1 or LED1)
    _IOPORT_PB, // 15   RB15    AN9/C3INA/RPB15/SCK2/CTED6/PMCS1/RB15 (Jumper to either Arduino Analog 1 or LED2)
    _IOPORT_PB, // 16   RB2     AN4/C1INB/C2IND/RPB2/SDA2/CTED13/PMD2/RB2 (Arduino A4 / SDA)
    _IOPORT_PB, // 17   RB3     AN5/C1INA/C2INC/RTCC/RPB3/SCL2/PMWR/RB3 (Arduino A5 / SCL)
    _IOPORT_PB, // 18   RB9     TDO/RPB9/SDA1/CTED4/PMD3/RB9 (does not come out on Arduino header - used for Bootloader Enable switch)
};

Nicely it has listed all the pin names for you. You can see that B15 is associated with pin number 15. If you didn't have those names in comments you would have to work it out with that table in combination with the next one:

const uint16_t  digital_pin_to_bit_mask_PGM[] = {
    // Pins 0 through 18
    _BV( 4 ) ,   //  0   RA4    SOSCO/RPA4/T1CK/CTED9/PMA1/RA4
    _BV( 4 ) ,   //  1   RB4    SOSCI/RPB4/RB4
    _BV( 5 ) ,   //  2   RB5    TMS/RPB5/USBID/RB5
    _BV( 13 ) ,  //  3   RB13   AN11/RPB13/CTPLS/PMRD/RB13
    _BV( 1 ) ,   //  4   RB1    PGEC1/AN3/C1INC/C2INA/RPB1/CTED12/PMD1/RB1 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _BV( 0 ) ,   //  5   RB0    PGED1/AN2/C1IND/C2INB/C3IND/RPB0/PMD0/RB0 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _BV( 2 ),    //  6   RA2    OSC1/CLKI/RPA2/RA2 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _BV( 3 ),    //  7   RA3    OSC2/CLKO/RPA3/PMA0/RA3 (does not come out on Arduino header)
    _BV( 10 ) ,  //  8   RB10   PGED2/RPB10/D+/CTED11/RB10
    _BV( 11 ) ,  //  9   RB11   PGEC2/RPB11/D-/RB11
    _BV( 7 ) ,   // 10   RB7    TDI/RPB7/CTED3/PMD5/INT0/RB7
    _BV( 1 ) ,   // 11   RA1    PGEC3/VREF-/CVREF-/AN1/RPA1/CTED2/PMD6/RA1
    _BV( 8 ),    // 12   RB8    TCK/RPB8/SCL1/CTED10/PMD4/RB8
    _BV( 14 ),   // 13   RB14   CVREF/AN10/C3INB/RPB14/VBUSON/SCK1/CTED5/RB14
    _BV( 0 ) ,   // 14   RA0    PGED3/VREF+/CVREF+/AN0/C3INC/RPA0/CTED1/PMD7/RA0 (Jumper to either Arduino Analog 1 or LED1)
    _BV( 15 ) ,  // 15   RB15   AN9/C3INA/RPB15/SCK2/CTED6/PMCS1/RB15 (Jumper to either Arduino Analog 1 or LED2)
    _BV( 2 ) ,   // 16   RB2    AN4/C1INB/C2IND/RPB2/SDA2/CTED13/PMD2/RB2 (Arduino A4 / SDA)
    _BV( 3 ) ,   // 17   RB3    AN5/C1INA/C2INC/RTCC/RPB3/SCL2/PMWR/RB3 (Arduino A5 / SCL)
    _BV( 9 ) ,   // 18   RB9    TDO/RPB9/SDA1/CTED4/PMD3/RB9 (does not come out on Arduino header - used for Bootloader Enable switch)
};

By combining those two tables together (maybe in a spreadheet) you could then infer that the pin 15 has both _IOPORT_B and _BV(15) so B15 must be pin number 15.

Many thanks. Very useful
