I am a student and planning a project which will envolve using the PIC 16F628 and some I2C slaves. In my experiance with PIC's I have used a graphical assembler programming environment however I would like to use a more human readable language for this project. I would perfer not to spend much money (if any) on a programing environment for use on a windows workstation (or if neccisay linux). My current programmer is a JDM compatable and I would like to keep using this for ICSP. What compilers do people use that they are happy with and support (inbuilt libraries or libraries avaliable) for the I2C bus? I was thinking along the lines of a C compiler however these all seem to cost heaps. Any comments welcome.
