Swordfish is a highly structured, modular compiler for the PIC18 family of PIC® microcontrollers. Swordfish is a true compiler that generates optimised, stand alone code which can be programmed directly into your microcontroller. Extensive library support is provided with full source code. Swordfish enables you to structure a program using subroutines and functions. Each subroutine or function can have its own local declarations consisting of constants, structures and variables. Procedural programming is a better choice than simple sequential or unstructured programming, especially in situations which involve moderate complexity or require significant ease of maintainability.
The Proton Development Suite is actually three core products, developed to work in harmony. The Proton IDE provides the interface for developing and editing your code. The Proton compiler converts your BASIC code into Assembler for the PICmicro to understand. Proteus VSM simulates numerous environments, so you can see your code work in real-time. The Proton Development Suite can create programs for many of Microchip's PICmicro® microcontrollers and works with most PICmicro® programmers, including the EPIC Plus and Serial Programmer. Alternatively, you can use the integrated loader software to download your code directly to a development board without the need of a programmer, using the serial port on your computer.
The latest PICBasic Pro Compiler by microEngineering Labs can create programs for any of Microchip's PICmicro ® microcontrollers and works with most PICmicro® programmers, including the EPIC Plus and Serial Programmer. Alternatively, you can use loader software to download your code directly to a development board without the need of a programmer, using the serial port on your computer.
The low-cost microEngineering Labs PICBasic Compiler makes it easy to write programs for the Microchip PICmicro MCU and works with most PICmicro® programmers, including the EPIC Plus and Serial Programmer. The easy-to-use BASIC language makes PICmicro MCU programming available to everyone.
