Title: Opinion on MikroElektronika programming suit?
Post by: voyager2 on February 27, 2011, 05:57:39 AM

I recently found this programming suit / development tool:

http://www.mikroe.com/eng/categories/view/2/compilers/ (http://www.mikroe.com/eng/categories/view/2/compilers/)

They support PIC32, PIC, AVR...
Has anybody used this suit?
Is it any good?

They can be downloaded free with some limitations...

Why?
Microchip has the free MPLAB and C compilers that support all PICs and have full integrated support for the programming and debugging tools.

Ok good point...
I'm looking at PIC32 + BASIC = Goodness  ;)

Ok, if you really want to program in BASIC then MikroElektronika would be the way to go.

For a PIC32 and the other higher end PICs I prefer C.

Imagine all that power in the hands of a novice  :o 8) 8)
I'll try it out , one day, when I have a PIC Kit 2  ;D
