Post by thread:[PIC] C Compiler for 16F877

Hi, thanks to the hints I got in this list, now I'm using the 16F877 for the A/D operations without need of A/D converters. Now i'd like to know if is there any C Compiler that will support to build a program fully in C. By that i mean it will have instructions to work with PIC's USART and internal A/D converter.

CCS's PCM has a #pragma scheme that generates code for using both of these peripherals in several modes. You put in a #use statement, and later call a pseudo-function. They generate code for the appropriate mode. Unfortunately, you don't get the source code for these functions, so it's impossible to fix them if needed. Other compilers supply library functions to do it. Even a compiler without a library can be used, if you don't mind writing to control registers (but I assume that's what you're trying to avoid). But all will get the job done without requiring assembly language. -- Ned Konz http://bike-nomad.com GPG key ID: BEEA7EFE -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

You should be able to do it with CCS http://www.ccsinfo.com/picc-referall.shtml It has many PIC specific directives and library function to control A/D, UART (including software emulation), timers, etc. They have the tendency to ship version before fully debugging them but in general it works well.

Hi, sorry for asking again. I looked over CCS and its great, but commercial. Anyone ever heard about a free compiler that will support 877, A/D and USART. Does it exist? Thanks again.

The free PICC Lite Compiler supports the 877/877A. See http://www.hitech.com.au/products/piclite/piclite.html I don't know if it has library support for the A/D and USART, but you can certainly write to registers to control them. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
