<< Hi all
 Does anyone have experience with the PbasicPRO compiler?
 Is it worth getting, and does it support all the functions of the
 PIC?
 Thanks

Dear Justin,
     We are having great success with the PBasicPro setup. It pretty much
works as advertised, and makes development a dream. The best part from our
point of view is you can easily mix assembly code with basic. For example, in
a heart-rate monitor just completed, I did the messy stuff (convert
millisecond count into beats-per-minute) in basic with:

bpm = 60000 / ms

This lets the compiler do all the nasty 32-bit math, and lets you get on with
life! Also, it seems very efficient in generating compact code. You might
check that it supports your PIC of choice; we have been using the 16F84 so
far, but I am anxious to try the higher-end chips as well. Highly recommended!

Cheers,
