Re: Better for PICicBasic Pro,Picbasic Proton Pl or Assemb
Hi,
You'll no doubt get a lot of debate over this question :wink:
Also, try searching this forum - there have been a few threads like this one.
It really depends on what you want to do. Some options:
1. Progress to professional work - assembler (and C)
2. Just some simple control functions - basic
3. more complicated/real time control - assembler
If you just want to play around controlling stuff, either basic will serve (I use MELab's PICBasic Pro).
If you want to move onto professional work or want to design more complicated stuff, C or assembler is much, much better.
Personally, I believe in learning assembler whatever you want to do - it will give you a much better understanding of how the MCU works and how to get the most out of it.
Maybe, if you have time to learn, try both. Write a program in basic, get it working, then try to write it in assembler. Compare the code sizes and speed of execution when you are finished.
