Software: Introduction
In this course, we’ll only talk about PIC assembly language as used in the MPLAB assembler.
- MPLAB is FREE (score): see http://www.microchip.com/
- Assembly is a bit harder to code, but faster and more compact.
BASIC and C compilers exist but are spendy.
- Frankly, only mathematically intense programs need C or BASIC
- Small, simple programs may be better for assembly.
