Any hope for support for dsPIC30F's? Hate to have to switch horses.

dsPIC requires a totally different compiler core, so look at changing horses...;o}
Look forward to spending a decent chunk of change too. dsPIC compilers are
totally different from 12, 14, and 16-bit core compilers. I doubt you'll find one
that supports them all.
Yeah it does indeed... they also support PIC24, PIC32... if you're ready to pay the price and the annual fee too
Microchip C30 student work fine... Microchip have improve their C compilers lately.
MikroElektronika have some compiler for DsPIC too. Probably the only one Basic compiler 'till now... i said maybe....

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
I use the mikroE BASIC compiler for the 16-bit (PIC24F/J, dsPIC30, dsPIC33) devices and it works great. Price is also very reasonable ($149) and as far as I know, it is the only BASIC available for the 16-bit PIC's. As mentioned by others, you can also use the C30 compiler from MicroChip which is free for the student edition.
Would not go back to using 8-bit PIC's except for low pin-count (<18 pins) and very low cost apps (<$1 per chip). The power, versatility and ease-of-use of these 16-bit PIC's are hard to beat.
Yup, DsPIC are not as this hard... but for many... the multiple Datasheet to download would be enough to be afraid of![]()
