| Among C compiler for PIC micro, CCS and hitex may be the most famous. But the bad thing about them are that the license is only for one year. After one year, additional license fee needs to be paid for update and support of new devices. C compiler from microchip is for lifetime, but they only support for pic 18 and above. They said lower end PIC are too simple to use C and can be easily programmed in Assembly. If you still want C compiler, they can get from third party, they said. I think IAR also support PIC. www.IAR.com | |

| In this topic we concern only for Microchip PICs as regards the language: C is still the best as the most engineers agree so from the available C compilers the "winner" for the most pics 12Fxxx,16Fxxx is the one from Hitech, I consult to download the others compilers for this reason--> to steal a possibly smart idea from the included examples IAR has powerful compilers but support very little types from the above series
as regards the 18Fxxx,and 30Fxxx (and other dsPIC types) the first tools that you must think to try -and are "free"- are the two Microchip compilers next it is worthing to try the Hitech and IAR tools | |
