Which Pic C compiler do you like?

[bliviudaniel]

I work with Hi-Tech PICC for PIC16 and PIC18. This is mainly because I prefer to have one single platform for PIC16 and PIC18. Another reason is that I don't like CCS because it's not ANSI. I like to make my own peripheral drivers.

    For beginner, Not much knowledge of microcontroller, I suggest to use CCS compiler because it is easier to understand about microcontroller and a lot of example for more understanding of compiler as well. But you must have C prog skill. Version 4 and above, driver files can be used such as keybd.c, lcd.c. The most I like CCS best is its built-in functions like delayms(500); it's really great for managing time frames.
    I find HiTech for adv user. the complier dose not come with useful examples and it assume that the user has knowledge of microcontroller.

MikroC is more usefull for biginner thinks to its library.

hi,
i use proton, but i want to use micro c. I ll use it after take it.

I use HI-Tech PICC ,but now I'm testing CCS. I can't see the difference.

PICC from CCS.

[future]

C30 from microchip

[softjad]

PICC from CCS!

i use mikro c and ccs both and found ccs is more power full and also easy to learn.specially its project wizard is very attractive for me

Hi,

I use CCS compiler. I had little knwoledge of embeded programming and had to learn a little standard c at first, but after that, I can do almost anything with CCS. I havent found the need to change yet

Still trying to learn CCS and so far as the other posters says its easy to use. Great for a beginners like me.

Hi

No unique choice for me !

When my work is mainly 'redesign' of ready made applications
I use the original C compiler :
    USB 18F2550 (hid, cdc, mass storage) with Microchip C18
    CAN, Nokia3110 LCD... with CCS 3.49
    sometimes MikroC....
-When I build from 'white page' I prefer now BoostC:
   +Flowcode3 Demo as front end + Boost C libraries
   +Source level debugging with Mplab or Proteus
   +Programming/debugging  with ICD2
Coming from 8051 world I appreciate near Ansi compilers
and coding for easiest porting to others chips (AVR, PIC24)

Regards

For PIC16, i prefer Hi-Tech Pic-c. For PIC18, PIC24, DSPIC, etc i prefer Microchip's C18 and C30.

How about MikroC?

I think that MikroC is very easy for beginner but I do not like it

[arvind]

I like MikroC..being a beginner it seems to be really easy..

[toni999]

hello,
I am using MIKRO C compiler too... it is work fine

[rosebif]

I like hi-tech , it has an option of optimisation

[lrom]

Microchip C18 has everything you need to code in C for PIC, and in microchip own forum you may find solutions to any problem you may have

[trigo]

Microchip C18,c30

[surachai]

My projects used 16Fxxx and  use CCS C Compiler. The IDE have project wizard i like it.

[tenir]

CCS c is easy to use but not usable with all microcontrollers. I also use CCS but I will migrate to IAR.

i use mikro-electronica's Mikroc. it has a lot of useful library functions. a free version of the software is downloadable from mikroelectronica's website. the free version is limited to program sizes of 2kb(600 lines of codes approximately)

i want to download ccs please tell me i am an inactivate user???

hi. i have just start interest pic but i dont know which compiler is good for me and i want to start it any program which can start beginer continue up to professionel programming by the way i know c.
thank you !
