PIC Compilers

The low-cost PicBasic Compiler makes it easy to write programs for the fast and powerful Microchip PIC range of microcontrollers. The compiler converts your BASIC programs into files that can be programmed directly into a PIC. The easy-to-use BASIC language makes PIC programming available to everyone with its English-like instruction set. No more scary assembly language!

The PicBasic Pro Compiler is the easiest way for you to program the fast and powerful Microchip PIC range of microcontrollers. The compiler converts your BASIC programs into files that can be programmed directly into a PIC. The PicBasic Pro Compiler features BASIC Stamp 2 commands, direct and library routine access to pins on PORTA, C, D, E, as well as PORTB, arrays, real IF..THEN..ELSE and interrupt processing in BASIC.

This C compiler includes built-in functions to access the PIC microcontroller hardware such as READ_ADC to read a value from the A/D converter. Discrete I/O is handled by describing the port characteristics in a PRAGMA. Functions such as INPUT and OUTPUT_HIGH will properly maintain the tri-state registers. Variables including structures may be directly mapped to memory such as I/O ports to best represent the hardware structure in C.
