PBP for dsPIC 16bit??

[mister_e]

You can start right now with assembler or C... it's free (with some limitations).

If you already mess with 10,16,18 series, then you'll discover PIC24, DsPIC, PIC32 assembler is far different... not to mention the extra features and architecture.

Download a datasheet... then oh surprise, you also need to download the family common datasheet for x specific section of the internal peripherals.

Yes it is a complete rewrite, no it's not simple... and no you don't need to stick to C, there's already Basic compilers available.

On the long run, you may find it handy to know C.

.....On the long run, you may find it handy to know C.

If you want to leverage your efforts into commercial/professional activities, then C/C++ is the way to go. It dominates the market at 84% (ASM is the next highest with 5%) with all other languages making up the balance of 11% - BASIC (all dialects, not just PBP) accounts for 1% of total usage.

It's been said countless time in here, compilers are just tools. You want to have more than one screwdriver in your kit.

I say, if you can, learn them all

Keep programming fun, enjoy what you do..life's too short.

I would like to program PIC24, because they have 4 UART ! Need Them because SERIN(OUT)2 are not good for my apps

Sure looks like you are not going to find the solution here any time soon.

@ Robert,

The text you select had been written in 2011... not sure that 18F67J94, if exist at this time, was suported by PBP2.60...
;-)


I can see now, that, here in France, electronicians are using more and more ARDUINO, raspberry Pi, beaglebone.... (linux embedded and python prog) May be because of the price and no simple basic compiler for big PIC available. (?)

Hi,
The 18F67J94 (or, in fact, any of the xxJ94 devices) doesn't seem to be supported even by PBP3 (Supported devices).
I'd love for PBP to support other device families but as have be said, the 24 and 32 series PICs are completely different animals compared to the 12, 16 and 18 series. However, and I know the thread is old so the point may be moot but if 4 USARTs is the driving factor for going to a 32bit microcontroller one might think about taking a step back and re-evalutate. Take a look at the MAX3107 for example, 4UARTs with 128bytes FIFO buffers, SPI/I2C interface to the main controller.
