The CCS C Compiler was developed exclusively for the PIC MCU --making it a highly optimized compiler for Microchip parts. The compiler has a generous library of built-in functions, preprocessor commands, and ready-to-run example programs to quickly jump-start any project. Drivers for real-time clocks, LCDs, A/D converters, and many more are innate features to the CCS C Compiler. If moving from an 8-bit to 16-bit processor, the 24-bit PCD compiler is an easy migration. PCD has a generous CCS math function library, Flash access functions and the full range of common built-in functions and preprocessor commands.

The PICBASIC™ PRO Compiler can program Microchip's PIC® 10/12/16/18 MCU families using the familiar BASIC command syntax. The PICBASIC PRO Compiler can be used inside Microchip's MPLAB® IDE for source-level debugging. The true compiler (not an interpreter) includes a full-featured, Windows-compatible, development environment with syntax highlighting, navigation tools, and toolbar compiling and programming. The compiler offers 32-bit signed math, built-in commands for serial communications (async, I2C, SPI), analog conversion, character LCD displays and more. Direct access to internal registers allows full use of all hardware modules on the microcontroller in BASIC.

Tag-Connect

Buy Tag-Connect Products

Tag-Connect cables provide a simple, reliable means of connecting Debuggers and Programmers or other test equipment to your PCB’s while lowering board costs and facilitating efficient production programming.

Tag-Connect uses a specially designed (Patent Pending) connector which eliminates the need for putting a programming header or other mating connector on every PCB. Instead, Tag-Connect uses tried and tested spring-pins rated for 100,000 operations to make a secure connection to a special footprint pattern of pads and locating holes on your PCB. The footprint can take up as little board space as 0.02 square inches (about the space needed for a couple of 0805 SMT resisitors) which means you can locate the footprint right next to the MCU if desired.

Tag-Connect Legged cable (TC2030-MCP) works like this: (More Info)

Tag-Connect With LegsTag-Connect Footprint With LegsTag-Connect No Legs held in position

Three locating pins align the connector’s pins while four legs snap into the PCB holding it securely in place for a prolonged debugging or programming session. The other end of the cable terminates in a 6P6C modular plug and connects directly to your debugger or programmer.
