Q: using MCLR for Input on 12F683

[johnnylynx]

Thanks guys,

I think I've got it working OK now...but by copy of the picbasic compiler (with microcode studio) only limits me to 31 code lines

As much as I like Microcode Studio...is there something out there a guy can use that is much cheaper than picbasic pro AND is downloadable from the NET?

John.

US$149, FREE demo limit 2K code (with the PIC12F683, you fill the entire program memory with the demo).

Thanks, how do these compilers compare to picbasic pro?

I suggest that you download the demos (and relevant user manuals) and judge for yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Oops, left out my favorite (only for PIC18's though) - US$149, Demo limited to 256 bytes of RAM, no restrictions on code size:

I tried mikrostudio...I like the picbasic code better (maybe because I'm learning on that platform). I also have MPLAB that came with my pickit2...but it works on asm. I appears if I get the picbasic compiler that I could program in MPLAB using picbasic???

Is that right?

JOhn.

MPLAB and PBP work very well together. I normally use MPLAB over MCS.
