Post by thread:[PIC]: Oshon PIC simulator IDE and programmer

Sorry forgot header Has anyone had experience with the above ide. I'm thinking about purchasing it as it seems very easy to use and comes with some good features such as a lcd simulator and rs232. Apparently the programmer software can connect to dontronics DT001 programmer board. The assembler works reasonably well. How do people find the basic compiler?

I started out with this, it worked fine for a while, then it quit and I had any number of troubles with it. I was very impressed with the simulator (but it _was_ my first experience) and would still consider buying it if I was in a windows environment. However I could not suggest the standard programmer, due to the above problems. The wisp628 on the other hand, that I _can_ recommend (and do) even though Wouter has done some black magic with the serial comms I _STILL_ don't have mine running, and as far as I can tell it's hooked up _exactly the same.

I'm not sure what OS you are running, but if it's Windows, you could always take a look at the native XWisp clone available at http://www.robh.nl. Look under the "Newest material:" header at the left. No Python runtime environment needed. Jan-Erik. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Sorry, I was confusing, my Wisp628 is working like a champ, it's my other circuit with a max232 on it that's not. -- Anthony Toft <.....toftatKILLspam@spam@cowshed.8m.com> -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

It's free, reasonably good, supported by Microchip, supports the whole PIC product line, and use by the vast majority of PIC developers. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

I use it a lot, it's fun, much easier to use than microchip's and the simulator is extremely high quality. From your comment I would have to guess you have never tried it. I may sound like I am advertising for Oshonsoft here but I do use it for most of my projects. Here is a what I like about it(and this is by no means complete): Simulator: Accurate in detail, even all periferals with correct timing for everything. (this is unlike what microchip tells you about their simulator) -a beautifull display of register values and bits in them -clickable bit and byte values to change their contents -selectable run speed (slow to fast in several steps)with and without screen update -a terminal simulation for testing hardware and even bitbanged serial io -simulated led displays you can virtually connect to io pins of your chosing -simulated character lcd you can virtually connect to io pins of your chosing -simulated bit scope function -simulated generator -sliders for analog input values -microcontroller view with live clickable changable pin status that supports all standard display sizes etc etc.... Built in Basic programming language: Is non optimizing this might be a disadvantage. -support for bitbanged / hardware serial io. -easy writing to character lcd. It's still a work in progress but i really like using it for quick prototyping. And all of this for $19 (for home users like me) a good deal., and you have nothing to lose (but time), try it for free. I am not associated with Oshonsoft just like their program.

My message was a bit messy because of the list's line formatting and a mistake I made , I'll try again. > Grimm, Justin wrote: >> Has anyone had experience with the above ide. > > Unless you've got a very good reason, and I can't think of one, I would go > with the standard Microchip MPLAB tool suite.
