Program Creation

To make a program takes just a few steps :

• Write the program in BASIC
• Compile it to fast machine binary code
• Test the result with the integrated simulator (with additional hardware you can simulate the hardware too)
• Program the chip with one of the integrated programmers
  (hardware must be purchased separately)
   

Write

The program can be written in a comfortable MDI colour coded editor.

Besides the normal editing features, the editor supports Undo, Redo, Bookmarks and block indention.

Simulate

The simulator lets you test your program before writing it to the uP.

You can watch variables, step through the program one line at the time or run to a specific line, or you can alter variables.

To watch a variables value you can also point the mouse cursor over it.

A powerful feature is the hardware emulator, to emulate the LCD display, and the ports. The LCD emulator also emulates custom build LCD characters!

Burn

When you are done with the simulator it is time to program the chip using one of the supported programmer drivers.
