So you're new to PBP and want a simple step-by-step guide? This one will show how how to get started with
This tutorial assume a "next to none knowledge" level. Sorry for the "more advanced" user.
- PICBASIC PRO Demo
- MPLAB
- PICKIT 2 programmer
- PICKIT 2 Low Pin Count Demo Board (DM164120-1) PIC16F690
- Windows 7 64 bits.
That's it for the installation phase
- Go on Microchip website and download the latest MPLAB version (As of June 22, 2011, Latest Version is 8.70)
- Extract and run the Setup 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
- If you want to install only the minimum, when prompted for the Setup Type, choose Custom and follow the instructions bellow. Unless, jump to step 7
- Use the default Destination Folder
- Check the following when you'll be prompted to select the features to install

PICKIT 2- Continue the installation normally, wait 'till the end
- Go on Melabs Website and download PBPDemo
- 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 decide if you want to Install Microcode Studio... or not. I suggest you do so, it's a pretty nice tool.
- I also suggest you to download and install the PICKIT 2 standalone application, there's quite a few interesting feature included in. Just Install it in the default folder.
- 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
