BASCOM-AVR

BASCOM-AVR is the original Windows BASIC COMPILER for the AVR family. It is designed to run on W95/W98/NT/W2000 and XP

Key Benefits

Structured BASIC with labels.
Structured programming with IF-THEN-ELSE-END IF, DO-LOOP, WHILE-WEND, SELECT- CASE.
Fast machine code instead of interpreted code.
Variables and labels can be as long as 32 characters.
Bit, Byte, Integer, Word, Long, Single , DOUBLE and String variables.
Support for the DOUBLE. Not found in any AVR compiler, BASCOM gives you the advantage to crunch huge numbers with the DOUBLE(8 byte Floating Point)
Large set of Trig Floating point functions. Date & Time calculation functions.
Compiled programs work with all AVR microprocessors that have internal memory.
Statements are highly compatible with Microsoft’s VB/QB.
Special commands for LCD-displays , I2C chips and 1WIRE chips, PC keyboad, matrix keyboad, RC5 reception, software UART, SPI , graphical LCD, send IR RC5, RC6 or Sony code.
TCP/IP with W3100A chip.
Local variables, user functions, library support.
Integrated terminal emulator with download option..
Integrated simulator for testing.
Integrated ISP programmer (application note AVR910.ASM).
Integrated STK200 programmer and STK300 programmer. Also supported is the low cost Sample Electronics programmer. Can be built in 10 minutes! Many other programmers supported via the Universal Interface.
Editor with statement highlighting.
Context sensitive help.
Perfectly matches the following boards :

DT006 SimmStick from Dontronics
MAVRIC and the MAVRIC-II from BDMICRO.
AVR robot controller (ARC 1.1) from L. Barello
Active Mega8535 Micro Board from Active Robots

DEMO version compiles 4KB of code. Well suited for the AT90S2313.
English an German Books available
Special Tcp/Ip library, AT mouse simulator, AT keyboard simulator and others are available as add on

The following statements are supported (actually there are many more look in the helpfile):

And many other functions, statements and directives

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)

The program can be written in a comfortable MDI color coded editor.
Besides the normal editing features, the editor supports Undo, Redo, Bookmarks and block indention.

The simulator let 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.

uP TAB of simulator

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

It is simple to control various graphical LCD displays.

You can even simulate the hardware ports with the special basmon monitor program!
When you are done with the simulator it is time to program the chip using one of the supported programmer drivers.
