Re: mikroElektronika development boards

I have one, had it a few months, I love it.
I've ported a few projects from the EasyPic 3 to more permanent setups
without problems.
Things to watch out for:
The compilers, C, Pascal and Basic are code limited to 2k unless you buy
the program for extra $$$$$. The assembler isn't.
Almost all peripheral setup is done with library functions which you
have no access to other than using them. RS232_Init, Lcd_INIT, etc.
Within those limits, it's a great board, handles every flash PIC they
make, and will generate code for a lot of older PIC's as well. With
those I load the hex code into my PicStart 16B and program them. Yes,
I've been PIC'n around for a while.

Thanks for your advice about the board, it does appear to be the best one
around. I have already downloaded their MikroBasic and given it a try. It
seems OK if a little complicated. They have it on special offer if bought
with the board but I am also trialling Crownhill's Proton package (free
version). Not yet sure which I like best. Do you have any thoughts?


Re: mikroElektronika development boards

I have both the Crowhill Proton Board and EasyPic 3. The EasyPic 3 is
better in the fact it has got everything on one board. Switches, 7-seg,
LED's. I/O, Pots etc.
A lot better where as the Proton is smaller with less components and
connectors. But it does have the breadboard which is a very good idea.
I would go for the EasyPic 3 especially in the UK as it is on offer at 79 +
you can get a compiler (Basic, C or Pascal) for around 59 with it. Or it
is 99 with the GLCD, LCD and temp chip.
