Proramming IDE other than MPLAB

[koolguy]

Hello,
Is there any different features than mplab 8.87 than mplab x

 

[koolguy]

So, it is best and easy than MPLAB?

Best and easy are relative terms. Some people like it and some don't. My only reason for installing it was to simulate a particular peripheral.

koolguy, Yes, there are big differences between 8.87 and MPLAB X. The differences are described in much more detail on the Microchip site. MPLAB X is totally new software and has a very different feel to it. It is supposed to be more C friendly than the earlier versions. For someone using Assembly, like me, it allows simulation of some peripherals that the earlier MPLAB SIM didn't do, or didn't do on some chips.

Ritesh,

What do you mean "map lab?' Maybe your question should be a new thread?

I think it is a member name change. Was Ritesh Kakkar or something like that.

I think MPLab is the best for compiling PIC program. Why do you want not to use it?

Hi jacklai,

MPLab 8.xx is nice, but Microchip discontinued support of it, and it cannot simulate some functions on the newer chips. I prefer it to MPLab X, but one may not have a choice.
