New to this forum, and new to PIC programming as well.

I have just started to learn about PIC programming. I started by downloading MPLAB and doing some of the tutorials. Then I purchased this programmer http://www.futurlec.com/PIC_Programmer.shtml , built a development board to blink LED’s and started having some success.

But developing in ASM is not my cup of tea, so I have downloaded the demo version of PICBasic Pro and I am trying to use it.

The problem is I cant’t seem to figure out how to connect the programmer to MicroCode Studio. I know I can just use the files generated by PBP to use in MPLAB to program the PIC, but I want to program directly from MCS.

The programmer says it is Pickit2 compatible if that helps.

Any help would be appreciated, but it needs to be tailored to a complete novice.
