PICBASIC PRO is a program compiler distributed by microEngineering Labs Inc.[1] used for programming in PICBASIC. It is used primarily as a compiler for development of PIC microcontroller projects, and can be used in tandem with device programmers also available from microEngineering Labs.[2] mircoEngineering Labs itself is a recognized third-party partner of Microchip Technology.[3]
Features
[edit]Language
[edit]PICBASIC PRO uses both basic and advanced BASIC syntax, and also includes many built in commands commonly found in microcontroller development environments.[4] Some of those features include:
Because of its simplicity, PICBASIC is often a relatively popular language among many programming beginners and professionals alike.[5]
Device Support
[edit]The Gold Edition of PICBASIC PRO 3 supports over 500 individual PIC microcontrollers.[6] This wide range of support is partly the result of the well established relationship between microEngineering Labs and Microchip Technologies, the original developer of PIC microcontrollers.
MicroCode Studio
[edit]MicroCode Studio, created by Mechanique, is an IDE often promoted by microEngineering Labs that can be used as a programmer with the PICBASIC PRO compiler.[7] It contains many features that can aid in PIC programming, including an In Circuit Debugging feature, which allows the user to quickly debug problem areas within a program. Microcode Studio also allows for programming features such as Bootloading, allowing the user to save time and money by removing the need for programming hardware.[8]
