Moving from Basic Stamp and MIKROE basic to PicBasic PRO

[Acetronics2]

so I bought their PIC KIT (includes manuals, easy pic board v.7, usb dongle, lcd screens, etc). When it all arrived, I shortly found out that it was just glittery paper - documentation incomplete, proto board of very low quality, support very agressive and anti-customer oriented. So, I decided to give up with MIKROE and look for something different.

Hi, Alex

I think you're pretty UNfair here ... :

I have been using an Easypic 5 plus an EasyDSPic 6 for years, and compile my programs with either PicbasicPro, MikroC, CCS C, MikroBasic, Flowcode or "simply" use assembler ...
I will add MikroE docs are within the best I never saw in our little world ... and their compilers help section a real example !!!

from your post, I just see you do not like too much to read datasheets or Owner's manuals ...

Halas, without accepting such effort ... you won't go very far !

for the quality of those boards ... That's right they are low priced, but quality is more than what needed for those developement tools : just compare it to the similar tools sold from china and you will understand you're just angry not having got a " work by itself " tool ...

Once more, the solution is in your eyes and in your brain ... ONCE you've decided to read the docs ( yes, thousands of pages ! )

Idiotproof Self programming tools do not exist to the day ... whatever advertisements have promised you ...
