Introduction to mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24

dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 and mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 fit together well: dsPIC is designed as a PIC

with digital signal processing capabilities. These are Microchip’s first inherent 16-bit (data) microcontrollers. They build

on the PIC’s existing strengths by offering hardware MAC (multiply-accumulate), barrel shifting, bit reversal, (16x16)-bit

multiplication and other digital signal processing operations. Having a wide range of application and being also prized

for efficiency, the dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 MCUs are a natural choice for developing embedded systems. mikroBasic

PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 provides a successful match featuring highly advanced IDE, broad set of hardware

libraries, comprehensive documentation, and plenty of ready-to-run examples.

Features

mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 allows you to quickly develop and deploy complex applications:

- Write your source code using the built-in Code Editor (Code and Parameter Assistants, Code Folding,

Syntax Highlighting, Auto Correct, Code Templates, and more.)

- Use included mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 libraries to dramatically speed up the

development: data acquisition, memory, displays, conversions, communication etc.

- Monitor your program structure, variables, and functions in the Code Explorer.

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

- Use the integrated mikroICD (In-Circuit Debugger) Real-Time debugging tool to monitor program execution

on the hardware level.

- Inspect program flow and debug executable logic with the integrated Software Simulator.

- Generate COFF(Common Object File Format) file for software and hardware debugging under Microchip’s

MPLAB software.

- Use Single Static Assingment optimization to shrink your code to even smaller size.

- Get detailed reports and graphs: RAM and ROM map, code statistics, assembly listing, calling tree, and

more.

- Active Comments enable you to make your comments alive and interactive.

- mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 provides plenty of examples to expand, develop, and use as

building bricks in your projects. Copy them entirely if you deem fit – that’s why we included them with the

compiler.

Where to Start

- In case that you’re a beginner in programming the dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 microcontrollers, read carefully

the dsPIC Specifics chapter. It might give you some useful information on the dsPIC30/33 and PIC24

constraints, code portability, and good programming practices.

- If you are experienced in Basic programming, you will probably want to consult the mikroBasic PRO for

dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 Specifics first. For language issues, you can always refer to the comprehensive

Language Reference. A complete list of included libraries is available in the mikroBasic PRO for

dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 Libraries.

- If you are not very experienced in Basic programming, don’t panic! mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33

and PIC24 provides plenty of examples making it easy for you to go quickly through it . We suggest you

to consult Projects and Source Files first, and then start browsing the examples that you’re the most

interested in.
