which is the easiest software for PIC programmig?i want to programe 18 series PIC.is it true that all PICs have almost same type of programming language?I want to interface keupad LCD ADC and RS232 to PIC.

goto my website..i use proton ide..BASIC language..it so easy..

ya basic for pic is the easiest

 

[erio]

yes..mikrobasic, proton or pbp is always the best for beginner..

Hi,

Go for MPLAB assembly; Best understanding on how uC works, Full control, lowest RAM & ROM usage.

Then you may switch to higher level languages which has libraries to do the work.

 

[clarence501]

Yes, I agree with DineshSL. MPLAB is good and user friendly, but for me MPLAB C Language is easier.

hi,

go for mplab assembly; best understanding on how uc works, full control, lowest ram & rom usage.

Then you may switch to higher level languages which has libraries to do the work.

which one is the better micro c or mplab?

 

[shreyas_patel21]

actulally it depends on with which one you are more familier..

I have used both, I think MPLAB is more user friendly and easy..

 

[DineshSL]

Hi,

With MPLAB you can use pickit2, ICD2 debuggers which clones can be build by yourself. But not with MicroC

Thank you,

 

[mrcube_ns]

MPLAB is OK [ASM}, you will learn how mcu works, BUT you have to create code for all peripherals by yourself.

MicroBASIC or MicroC has most of peripherals libraries done.

Yes, ASM is slow; but full control is the gain for it.

With less knowledge of how uC works, using libraries will arise lot of difficulties and consume high debug time.

How about debuggers; are there clones for MicroBASIC or MicroC which we can built ? (like pickit2,ICD2 for mplab)

For start ASM is the best; with experience and knowledge you can play with High-level languages, libraries...

Thank you,

hi,
i have build AGV(Autonomous Guided Vehicule) wire guided ,(guidance,motor drive,communication rf,rfid,security system,flasher,battery monitor,station anti collision,i/o,etc,)with Pic18f and programmed with Proton,work very great(a 1,400,000,00$ for 7 machine and station).Basic is not only for the beginner,it's for save lot's of time,and asm is very prehistorical and waste your time.can can add in proton asm line if needed...

what you cannot do in basic(proton)?speed?for which application?
in ten years,never have any kind of problem with basic,low cost software,build a big robotic system and program it on the fly.

do a contest, with c,asm and basic,sure you see basic the winner!!!

 

[DineshSL]

Hi,

Someone has learnt ASM and built libraries and high-level-compilers for you; so they have done the hard part for you. Without their knowledge on ASM, basic or c will not be here !!!

ASM may be "prehistorical" but, it is the "Ancestor" of all.

Thank you,

 

[amadjo01]

maybe you can use Flow Code, GUI based type of programming, though, it has some limitations....

 

[lockman_akim]

also try this Amicus 18 Proton Compiler.. full version no limitation..it freeware..

[amadjo01]

i think i should try this one.... thanks master.....

 

[Tipu606]

thanks for the link lockman_akim
i will try it.
