PIC BASIC: GCBASIC

FREE PIC BASIC for PIC microcontrollers!

Jump to your GCBASIC code tips

GCBASIC stands for Great Cow Basic
why was it was named like this?
I just don't know...

Some benefits of this BASIC:

It's based on the syntax of QBASIC/FreeBASIC.
It can be assembled and run on almost all 10, 12, 16 and 18 series chips

It's not a polished integrated tool and there's no real IDE (although there is a user contributed one) that is quite basic but functional.

Note: There is information for setting up an editor for one button push hex file generation (the same as a commercial IDE - I have not tried this yet but it looks promising).

I/O capabilities:

Standard 2x16 LCD routines
Routines for on-chip A/D, PWM, SPI, EEPROM and Timers
RS232 communications - rates between 300 and 19200 bps with user configurable parity, start and stop bits.
PS/2 keyboard reading
4x4 Keypad

Output

The GCBASIC compiler takes your basic program and generates an assembler output which you need pass through an assembler to get your desired hex file which you can then use in the normal way.

Why not share your PIC BASIC creations here. In this way you can see other projects and learn how to use GCBASIC.

I'm a C programmer but having looked at GCbasic, I figured it would be worth a try.

It is very good imho.

Very functional albeit limits on size of ...
