[Beginner Tutorial] How tro get started with PBPDEMO, MicroCode Studio & PICKIT 2
So you're new to PBP and want a simple step-by-step guide? This one will show how how to get started with
- PicBasic Pro Demo version,
- MicroCode Studio
- PICKIT 2 programmer
- PICkit 2 Low Pin Count Demo Board (DM164120-1) PIC16F690
- under Windows 7 64 bits.
This tutorial will assume a "next to none knowledge" level. Sorry for the "more advanced" user.
- Go on melabs Website and Download PICBasic Demo & MicroCode Studio
- Run the install file
If you're running Vista of Win 7, you want to raise your privilege, right click on the file then, click on "run as administrator"- Accept the agreement
- Use the default installation folders
- Continue the installation and Install Microcode Studio
- Go at the Pickit 2 page and download those 2 files
(Version listed as of June 21, 2011)
- Extract all .ZIP in different folder to avoid some mess.
- Install the standalone utility first.... Again
If you're running Vista of Win 7, you want to raise your privilege, right click on the file then, click on "run as administrator"
- Create a new folder for the command line application
Let's use C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\PICkit 2 cmd
- Copy all file extracted from the PK2CMDv1-20.zip archive to that folder
- now create a new folder to store & test our new code. It's a good idea to create one close to the root.
Let's use C:\PBP_Prog
That's it for the installation phase.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
