There are many different combinations of tools that allow you to program and interact with PIC microcontrollers. For any combination, however, there are a few required components (usually called an Integrated Design Environment or IDE as a whole):
- Programmer
- C Compiler
- Source Code Editor
The CCS C Windows IDE combines a Source Code Editor and C Compiler, and interfaces easily with the CCS ICD-U40 Programmer (this combination of tools is used in ####). Also, as the name suggests, the ICD-U40 is an "In Circuit Debugger", which allows for the user to have in-depth, step-by-step control of the running of their program. Debugging is dicussed further here.
The PCWH Student Materials package includes a student version of the Windows IDE C Compiler, along with a introductory manual on C programming.
