2.2.6 MicroC PRO

The mikroC PRO for PIC is a powerful, feature-rich development tool for

PIC microcontrollers. It is designed to provide the programmer with the easiest

possible solution to developing applications for embedded systems, without

compromising performance or control. PIC and C fit together well where nowadays

PIC is the most popular 8-bit chip in the world, used in a wide variety of

applications, and C, prized for its efficiency is the natural choice for developing

embedded systems. MikroC PRO for PIC provides a successful match featuring

highly advanced IDE, ANSI compliant compiler, broad set of hardware libraries and

comprehensive documentation. The mikroC PRO for PIC is a user-friendly and

intuitive environment.

This software mikroC PRO for PIC allows quickly develop and deploy

complex applications. The C source code can be writing using the built-in Code

Editor (Code and Parameter Assistants, Code Folding, Syntax Highlighting, Auto

Correct, Code Templates, and more.). It uses included mikroC PRO for PIC libraries

to dramatically speed up the development such as data acquisition, memory,

displays, conversions, communication and more. Besides, it monitors the program

structure, variables, and functions in the Code Explorer. microC PRO also generate

commented, human-readable assembly, and standard HEX compatible with all

programmers. It use the integrated mikroICD (In-Circuit Debugger) Real-Time

debugging tool to monitor program execution on the hardware level where it is

convenient for beginner. Moreover, it able to inspect program flow and debug

executable logic with the integrated Software Simulator and generate

COFF(Common Object File Format) file for software and hardware debugging under

Microchip's MPLAB software [26].
