[SOLVED] Pic compiler..free and downloadable

[jaytanleee]

So got any recommended?

 

[Chullaa]

I am using CCS compiler. It lacks libraries, i think MPLAB or MIKROC would be best.

 

[jaytanleee]

Thx for the info

if you want libraries you should go the $$$ way...
both CCS and MikroC are commercial solutions, not free (but shareware limited)

but if you want a compiler, you can try del SDCC compiler for PIC... It's GNU. but you should get a gui for it, I liked CodeBlocks for it...

you can download Microchip's compilers

and use them in Lite mode for free

I want to but i don't have $$$

Use MPLAB C18 Compiler for PIC18 series...
Have lots of Library and the main thing is that it is FREE......
(with just a condition that the code generated will be having little bit more size than the purchased version)

Microchip's MPLAB IDE is free and if you are using the compilers in Lite mode they are also free. to quote from
**broken link removed**
"The Lite compilers are freeware compilers provided as a low-cost tool for all purposes. These compilers have no time or memory limitations, however most code optimizations will be restricted."

Hence the Lite compilers (C18, C32, dsPIC, PIC32) should be suitable unless your application is time critical or memory critical (where you need the optimizations)

there is also plenty of code examples
