mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 is a powerful, feature-rich development tool for PIC32 microcontrollers. It is designed to provide the programmer with the easiest possible solution to developing applications for embedded systems, without compromising performance or control.

mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 IDE

The PIC32 is a 32-bit family of general purpose microcontrollers. This is the Microchip's first inherent 32-bit (data) microcontroller family. It builds upon the MIPS M4K 32-bit core, offering high-performance hardware multiply/divide unit, programmable user and kernel memory partition through an unified 4GB virtual memory space, with powerful peripherals to address a wide range of applications.

Having a wide range of application, being prized for its efficiency, PIC32 MCUs are a natural choice for developing embedded systems. mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 provides a successful match featuring highly advanced IDE, ANSI compliant compiler, broad set of hardware libraries, comprehensive documentation, and plenty of ready-to-run examples.

Features

mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 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 PIC32 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.
• Use Single Static Assignment 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 PIC32 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 PIC32 microcontrollers, read carefully the PIC32 Specifics chapter. It might give you some useful information on the PIC32 constraints, code portability, and good programming practices.
• If you are experienced in Basic programming, you will probably want to consult the mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 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 PIC32 Libraries.
• If you are not very experienced in Basic programming, don’t panic! mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 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.
