New to PIC

[Mike2545]

Hello, I have been using the Basic Stamp for a few projects and have just recently purchased the PicBasic Pro Compiler. I was wondering if I would also need the MicroCode studio Plus or does that come with the software above.

I am awaiting delivery soon and can't wait to start programming PICs.

The free version of MCS that comes with PBP is good enough. The CD will also have MPLAB that you may also like.
Every thing you need to write and compile code comes on the CD.

Welcome to the world of PICs.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if I will be able to use a 'JuneBug' for a programmer?

[mackrackit]

Not sure. But if it can take a HEX file and send it to the PIC then it should. Does it come with software?

[Mike2545]

No software, but I can use MPLAB/swordfish to program it so...it should work.
I will know when I get the package.

Ok so I got the PICBasic pro compiler today and am having trouble with PORTA on the PIC18F1320.

I have 6 charlieplexed leds on Porta.0, Porta.6 and Porta.7 as seen here http://www.blueroomelectronics.com/d...structions.pdf

I cannot get a led to light on PORT6 or 7

Here is my code
ADCON1 = 127
input porta.7

led var porta.0
sink var porta.6
low sink
loop:
pause 5
toggle led
pause 5
toggle sink
goto loop
end
