I want to use PIC16F877 / PIC18F452 for my project.I m very new to PIC.I want to know which one of these i should use i mean which one is easy in terms of programming

At my institute we have ALL-11 universal programmer so i can programme both of them But i dont know which software to use for writing and compiling/assembling
programs.Can MPLAB be used for both devices?

In MPLAB we can write code only in assembly what is the tool to write code in C?Actually i want to use C rather than assembly.

some where i read about some thing like CCS PCWH C compilers.Are these free if not then is there any C compiler for the above devices for free?As i m a student so i cannot afford purchasing any one.
 

You can use MPLAB to write assembly code for both of the pics you want.

There are a few compilers for C out there: CCS, Hi-tech PICC, and few others that I can't name off the top of my head. These are not free and pretty expensive. I can't think of any freeware PIC compilers that are good/stable.
 

Try Mikrobasic or Mikropascal compilers from

The evaluation version (max 2K code) probably is good enough for your need.
 

Plz note that the evaluation versions with code limit say 2k are not of much use for me because the project for which i have to use these devices need code size greater than 2k
 

I am afraid there is no free PIC compiler without code limit?

Take a look on a free release of BoostC C compiler from:

Note that you can use C18 from microchip.
It is in demo version , there is no limitation, and you can install again at the end of the period.

For you developpment in C ( and C18). I advise you to use PICos18. Is is a free RTOS for PIC18.
You will find more information in www.picos18.com
and the forum wwW.picos18.com/forum.
