If you are familar with Basic or the Basic Stamps then you might consider the PicBasic Compiler from microEngineering Labs (melabs). It uses the same BASIC commands as the Basic Stamps but adds many more including interrupts in BASIC, one command LCD control, one command control of the PICs internal serial port, one command control of the A/D ports, etc. It really makes program PICs easy and also allows assembly language inserts. As you grow in your capabilities and understand the PICs better you can migrate up to programming in assembly if you want. I went down the same road you did programming in assembly and even got some stuff to work. But once I started using the PicBasic compilers I never looked back. They produce a very efficient assembly code file that gets assembled into a hex file similar to a C compiler but much easier to understand. If you program everyday then eventually you will learn assembly. If you do it once in a while then I don't believe there is an easier way to program PICs than PicBasic. Check out the article I wrote for Hobby-Electronics "Getting familiar with PICs and PicBasic" at: http://www.hobby-electronics.com/hellebuyck.pdf and/or If you want more info you can check out my site at: http://www.elproducts.com I sell starter packages, that include the PicBasic compiler from melabs, and will save you a lot of money. --- Birsen Ozturk wrote: > Hello! > I have to program the PIC16C84 microcontroller for my graduation > project and I never wrote an assembly code before. > After long time wasted on reading useless staff doing search on > internet and studying datasheet I wrote and simulate 250 lines of > assembly > code which proved to be wrong. > > Now I dont know how to proceed.
