Hi, I am looking at the pic basic compiler from Micro Engineering Labs. This will be my first time playing with micro controllers. I am hoping that the basic compiler will allow me to see cause and effect within the assembly language. As well as get started a bit faster since I have only some experiance with basic. Are any of you using the basic compiler from ME Labs? Does it get in the way of any of the possibilities that the pic is capable of? Do any of you who use Pic Basic Compiler use it with some of the home made programmers out there? Does ME Labs have good tech support once you purchase there product? I spoke with them today and they seemed friendly and willing to answer many of my extra questions not directly pertaining to the sale of there products. thanx,
