Software for PIC BASIC

[simrantogether]

Hi,

I am actually looking for PIC BASIC compiler...

The compiler that can program pic microcontroller in BASIC language...

I felt that the capability of the colpiler can be 8k... but if it is less then also we can work upon it...

Regards,

Simran...

There are several PIC BASIC compilers.
Search the web!
I use PIC BASIC PRO & PIC BASIC from MeLabs
Look for Swordfish.
Basic 18 PIC BASIC Compiler
MikroBasic
Etc……

Proton is a robust product, with regular updates and device additions..
You can download a lite version from :

Great Cow Basic can do up to 20,000 lines of code. Development could be characterized as middle/high beta stage.

For Swordfish, PM member 'gramo', he uses SW extensively.

For Proton Lite, if you have it in your PC, run it and then 'help', you will see its limited to a maximum of 50 lines of code!
Also only 4 PIC types!

This is an extract from the 1st webpage of microBasic.
Note: in Demo version, hex output is limited to 2k of program words

The pic basic pro has the same limitations as the Proton lite.

Its taken me all of 5 minutes to find this information, where were you looking.????

hi,
Look at GCBasic,, [Great Cow Basic], it has a limited IDE, but it can be used with the Crimson Editor....
also with the Context Editor, its got no size limitations.

 

[simrantogether]

Thanks sir...

Thanks sir...

finally i've got a compiler that can generate unlimited amount of hexadecimal file... and also that which is an open source...

Can it program pic16f877 ... i hope it can...

Regards,

Simran..

 

[simrantogether]

Sir...

Whats the purpose of crimson editor... or context editor...

Am i right that they are used as notepad for storing hex files...?

if this is there then.. does it mean that microsoft notepad can not be used for this purpose...

Hi Simran,
Download the GCBasic and install it.
Download the Crimson Editor and install it

Use the default directories both programs offer.

Load one of the GCBasic sample txt files into the Crimson editor window.

Press the F9 keyboard key, this should compile the txt program into a hex file.

In Crimson editor look under Tools/preferences

Give it a try

EDIT: pic showing the C/Edit settings

Wonderful help...

It's a wonderful help that is being given...

Thanks...

I'll just try... and report as early as possible...

Regards,

Simran..

 

[simrantogether]

Yes sir...

On the page located at http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/starting.html

there are three things under the heading ' Installing an IDE (optional) '

I feel all the three things are to be worth doing...

Great thanks,

Regards,

Simran..
