PicBasic PRO
Now if your really serious about PICs but want to stay with PicBasic, microEngineering Labs has
introduced a professional version of the PicBasic compiler called PicBasic Pro (PBP).
microEngineering Labs had so many things they wanted to add to PBC that it became a compiler
in a league by itself. PBP added many more features to PBC. The main benefits of PBP over the
PBC are:
· Interrupts in BASIC.
· Programs longer than 2K.
· Arrays.
· Direct access to 16 I/O without using PEEK and POKE.
· Direct access to special function registers without using PEEK and POKE.
· There is also a way to tell Pro which clock oscillator you want to operate at instead of
the 4 MHz PBC expects.
· Pro can also be used with Microchips assembler MPASM for better ICE and simulator
compatibility.
· Any variable designated as bit, byte, or word.
