The PicBasic
® Pro Compiler allows 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
® MCU.

® BASIC is a DOS command line compiler, however it now ships with CodeDesigner Lite IDE for Windows! CodeDesigner Lite allows you to write code in a PicBasic
®-friendly environment. Color coded syntax, compile and launch programmer from toolbar, multiple documents, and more. (Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Windows7)
The PicBasic
® Pro Compiler gives you direct access to all of the PICmicro
® MCU 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
® MCU, 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 any of Microchip's PICmicro microcontrollers and works with most PICmicro
® MCU programmers, including our EPIC
® Plus PICmicro
® Programmer. A printed manual and sample programs are included to get you started.
The PicBasic
® Pro Compiler can also be used inside Microchip's MPLAB IDE. This allows programs to be edited and simulated within Windows. More information is on the MPLAB page.
PicBasic
® Pro Compiler now has limited support for the 12-bit core microcontrollers and BASIC source-level debugging. If you are a current PicBasic
® Pro owner and would like the latest version, please see the upgrade page for upgrade information.
