The new PicBasic Pro Compiler makes it even easier for you to program the fast and powerful Microchip Technology PICmicro microcontrollers. PicBasic Pro converts your BASIC programs into files that can be programmed directly into a PICmicro.
The PicBasic Pro Compiler features: BASIC Stamp II 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.
The PicBasic Pro Compiler gives you direct access to all of the PICmicro registers - I/O ports, A/D converters, hardware serial ports, etc. - easily and in BASIC. It automatically takes care of the page boundaries and RAM banks. It even includes built-in commands to control intelligent LCD modules.
The PicBasic Pro Compiler instruction set is upward compatible with the BASIC Stamp II and Pro uses BS2 syntax. Programs can be compiled and programmed directly into a PICmicro, eliminating the need for a BASIC Stamp module. These programs execute much faster and may be longer than their Stamp equivalents. They may also be protected so no one can copy your code.
The PicBasic Pro Compiler is a DOS command line application (it also works in Windows) and runs on PC compatibles. It can create programs for the PIC12C67x, PIC12CE67x, PIC14Cxxx, PIC16C55x, 6xx, 7xx, 84, 9xx, PIC16CE62x and PIC16F8xx microcontrollers and works with most PICmicro programmers, including our EPIC Plus Pocket PICmicro Programmer. A printed manual and sample programs are included to get you started.
The PicBasic Pro Compiler can now be used inside Microchip's MPLAB IDE. This allows programs to be edited and simulated within Windows. More information and the necessary files are on the MPLAB page.
If you want maximum compatibility with the BASIC Stamp I, or you would like to save a little money, or you just don't need all the extra features in PicBasic Pro, please take a look at our standard PicBasic Compiler.
There is a special offer for current PicBasic Compiler owners to "cross-grade" to the PicBasic Pro Compiler. Please see the upgrade page for more information.
