PIC programming using BASIC

[Mel_noypi]

hi
does any one knows any TUTORIAL website about PIC programming using BASIC LANGUAGE????

Hi,
Here's 1 link that has some pic basic samples etc. (mainly to do with robotics, but still a good learning site for picbasic etc.)

Here's a good site.

www.basicmicro.com

The book advertised on the cover also comes
with a free version of thier basic complier. The free version will
only work with the 16F876 and 16F876A PICs, but the book has
great information on "basic language" programming.

You're not looking to use a BASIC Stamp, are you? Usually we try to steer people away from those. That's different than a BASIC compiler though.

I like C compilers myself. I never messed with BASIC compilers, the C stuff is really effective nowadays.

Thanks for the sites!!
But i would like to ask, how come C is better in programming PIC than BASIC? im kinda new in programming PIC so do forgive my ignorance......hehehe.

C is 'popular' rather than 'better', so it's popularity has resulted in more optimised compilers.

'Best' is assembler though, it's what the PIC itself uses, and is essential to know (to some extent) even if programming in a high level language. The vast majority of code available is assembler, with relatively little C or BASIC code out there.

This is what I use:

I am by no means an expert but it is straight forward and does everything I ask of it (with a few lines of assembly where required).

The only way to describe my satisfaction with this peice of software would involve multiple repeated profanities and expletive infixation, that wouldnt belong on a family forum.

Having said that, the only way I can describe how helpful Nigel Goodwin is on this forum involves multiple repeated profanities and expletive infixation, that also wouldnt belong on this forum (although I can PM it to you if you like Nigel).

Happy new year
:lol:
