My first programmer software only supported one PIC, the 16C84 - which was the only electronically reprogrammable one at that time.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. Or Visual BASIC?.īiggest problem with PIC programming software is the huge variety of different devices, along with a goodly number of different programming algorithms, this is why the PICkits continually download updates to their firmware as you switch between different devices.

A good choice for you would probably be Lazaruz, which is essentially a free version of Delphi. My 'claim to fame' was writing the worlds first Windows PIC programming software, long before MicroChip ever did any, and I wrote it in Delphi 1.0 moving on from my earlier Turbo Pascal version. It's pretty easy to program PIC's, you just wiggle pins up and down, but why limit yourself to low voltage?.ĭoing it with a processor (like the Arduino) makes it even easier, as it's far easier to 'wiggle pins' on a micro-controller than on a 'modern' PC - old PC's DOS and upto Win3.1 were fine, but after that things got more difficult.
