PIC MCUs: Software
From Mech
Jump to navigationJump to searchThere 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:
- Programmer
- C Compiler
- Design Environment
The CCS PIC-C Compiler combines the Design Environment and C Compiler, and interfaces easily with the CCS ICD-U40 Programmer. 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.
