PBP - PIC BASIC Pro is awesome. I purchased PBP back in 2002, and have since written a dozen or so programs in it, that range from simple to complex. Have no regrets at all. I Highly recommend it.
Hi,
All the Basic Compilers are good provided someone is good in knowledge. If you can utilize, no compilers are bad. But with only mikroBasic, one can go up as other Basic Compilers don't have compatibility to work with DSPic or Pic24f. So, collect those and give a try and I am certain that many of us know how to collect those free. Thanks.
