IDE with emulation!

[RYTECH]

I would love to see a "simulator" included in PBP / Microcode studio.

as a hobbyist my usual design strategy is:

a) concept diagram
b) breadboard
c) wirewrap version
d) homemade photoresist (the kind you expose to light with your design overtop) etched pcb

Check out the VSM at www.labcenter.co.uk --it will run full spice on most PIC's. It will only run PBP compiled into ASM code.

If you want to run it step by step in Basic, the Proton+ compiler comes with a limited version of the VSM that has a handful of fixed (not editable) development boards. This allows you to test most of your code, unless it is totally hardware dependent. Combining the VSM and Proton allows you to edit the hardware and step through the basic code...this gets expensive, but is worth it if you code a lot.
