Jack, Used a lot of PIC’s when I was working. There is a C compiler but never used it. I always used Microchip’s assembler. After I retired, I found the Arduino Nano and their C IDE. Much easier and I

I just bough some Uno boards. They were clone boards at a low cost. Banggood, has an unusual package where they bundled two TFT touch screen displays with a clone Uno for 11 bucks. Because the touch s

For me I think the Pico will fill the gap where is seems to be necessary to trade off low cost for dubious quality boards. The RPi Pico has an old school C/C++ tool chain, but will be nice when friend

My MFJ antenna tuner uses a PIC chip and measures the transmit frequency directly with the PIC counters. Was disappointed when I discovered the Nano could only count external frequencies to 1/2 the cr

I have to disagree with both of you. The PICs were around long before the Arduinos and the tools developed for them are really outstanding. Have a look at the mikroe site… I’ve written in C, Pascal, B

I actually have played a little with the pro IDE, but not enough to pass judgement yet. I had a very early version and there was no obvious debugger with it. Also, the talk then was that the IDE is ac

#arm #rpi

Arduino is working on a next-generation IDE that will include a debugger. No idea how long it will be before it is available. You can read a bit more about the plans here: https://www.arduino.cc/pro/a

I just hope they don't cripple it with a crappy clock speed. Jack, W8TEE

There are a few C compilers for PIC. The older PIC chips like the 16F series are really badly suited to the language; the design of the instruction set and the C language are at war with each other, a

Arduino support for the RP2040 is not yet ready but it is under development. There are plans for an official Arduino board using the same processor as the Pico; it will also have wireless connectivity

Hi Shirley: I have the Arduino family, Teensy, STM32, and ESP32 all running in the same IDE. I install the libraries manually, so each patch has its own library path. The IDE is smart enough to know t

#arm #rpi

I think the Uno still has a place in prototyping. It was never ideal for embedding because of its size and cost; the Nano or other small boards like the Pro Micro are better for that. But the Nano its

The Teensy is almost idiot-proof.... so long as you use your Arduino toolchain ONLY to develop for Teensy. If you develop for both Teensy and other Arduino-compatible boards, the only viable approach

It would be nice, wouldn't it? Brian

Now if we can just get a good symbolic debugger... Jack, W8TEE

The success of Arduino is without question its IDE. Hope there will be a port soon. https://www.seeedstudio.com/blog/2021/01/29/arduino-ide-support-announced-for-the-raspberry-pi-pico/
