QFTA (real) PIC, a PICKIT 3 programmer/debugger and some free version of Basic for PICs.
If you are going to program in basic you will need a Basic compiler. MCU programming the proper way is quite different from the way you probably know from the flimsy PICaxe way of doing things.Preferable programming in BASIC
There is no other company!@t06afre
I had designed my circuit with picaxe 08 but its unavailable right now..So i was looking for an identical MCU of another company...Can you guide please...
No not at all. You can program PIC MCUs in basic. If you want to do that. But it is only chips from the PICAXE vendor that support the PICAXE concept.that no chip other than picaxe can be programmed with BASIC ? and all require C ??
It might or it might not. There are no standards for the basic language so it all depends how close the basic you choose is in its commands and syntax to the basic that picaxe uses. However since picaxe seems to hide much of the PIC functionality behind high level commands I would guess that your program will need quite a bit of modification.@alex
Thanks for explaining that.....My doubts are cleared now...
Just 3 things:
1)If I feed the same code(in BASIC) as of picaxe into any of the compilers earlier mentioned,will it work ?...Sorry if its dumb
Probably. If you are using the PIC12F629 chip you will gain a couple of extra I/O pins that were used by the PICAXE loader but depending on your programmer you may need to provide some programming connections.2)Will the original circuit have to be modified ?
Yes you can but you also need to get a programmer some compiler software.3)As I am not getting picaxe 08 ,can i simply ask vendor to give me any PIC12F629 chip ?
Thanks again everyone
in picaxe ,i was using 6 pins of i/o and 2 pins for programming.....Probably. If you are using the PIC12F629 chip you will gain a couple of extra I/O pins that were used by the PICAXE loader but depending on your programmer you may need to provide some programming connections.
