What is PicBasicPro Compiler?
PicBasicPro (PBP) is a powerful BASIC compiler developed by microEngineering Labs that allows programmers to easily write code for PIC microcontrollers. PBP uses a BASIC-like syntax that is optimized for the PIC instruction set.
Some key features of PicBasicPro:
- English-like syntax, easy for beginners to learn
- Supports a wide range of 8-bit and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers
- Includes libraries for common tasks like LCD, ADC, PWM, serial comms, etc.
- Generates optimized PIC assembly code - faster and smaller code than BASIC interpreters
- Supports writing interrupts and real time control applications
- Seamlessly interfaces to external circuits and I/O devices
- Has many example programs and code libraries available
PicBasicPro allows those familiar with BASIC to quickly start programming PIC chips without learning PIC assembly language. The compiler handles optimizing the code so developers can focus on the application logic and functionality. With its extensive built-in libraries and easy to learn language, PBP makes PIC microcontrollers accessible to a wide range of programmers.
