I prefer SourceBoost BoostC. It comes with both 16F and 18F compilers and will work with some 12F's as well.Hi I just need to know whats the good compiler for PIC16F series.
C is C. All the same. BoostC is reasonably close to ANSI standard, so it's pretty normal C.Hi Futz thanks for that then I'll use that.
In 16F ASM commands different & in 18F ASM commands are different from 16F.
Like that in C, is the commands are different? or can i use the same C command set for any PIC?
Another nice advantage on 16F's is that you never have to worry about bank switching again!Excellent Futz thanks for that information.
Because the 16F ASM instructions is ok but when i shift to 18F series i have to study that 18F instructions also.
Thats why i like to do them in C.
But always keep in mind that a license is $1000!**broken link removed**
Hitech has released their C compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCU unrestricted on code size.
Lite mode:
"Is a Free Download;
Supports all PIC10/12/16 devices; and
Has no memory or time restrictions.
However, OCG optimizations are disengaged. As a guide, code reduction in PRO mode is typically better than 50%. A compiler running in Lite mode can restore PRO mode performance by purchasing a license, or activating the 45 day evaluation."
For that amount, it would almost be worth it to set aside a computer that can be reformatted every 45 days.But always keep in mind that a license is $1000!

Have you tried Proton Basic? £99 for a full licence, and the regular updates are free. There are some really good plugins, (also free) which make things like USB, LCD and GLCD's a breeze. It also works very nicely with PicKit2. Covers all 16F and 18F series, and I believe 24F soon too.
There is a free version which is limited to 50 lines of code
