| IDE choice & compiler version recommendations |

Hi,
I'm am new to the CCSC compiler and PIC architecture, and have inherited the 'development tools' from my predecessor. I don't think he had the latest compilers, and I'm not sure if he even had the IDE setup properly.
We're using MPLAB IDE v8.10, with an OLD version of ccsc.exe.
"ccsc.exe +FM +V" yields "PCM version 3.235"
Our legacy processor is the 16F688, with the next project using the 24FJ256GB110.
What do most of you use for an IDE shell (MPLAB, CCSC's IDE, WinEdit w/ command line compilers, etc...)?
Thanks,

Read the last page of the "sticky" thread for the Pic24 at the top of the
forum. That will give you some idea of the current state of the PCD compiler.

I think it's roughly a 50-50 split between those two. A small percentage
use some other IDE. |

V3.235 is old but was a good version. V3.249 was the last v3 release and had a few more (minor) bugs fixed but if you don't need the version 4 features there is no need to upgrade for the PIC16 processors.
PIC24 is not discussed a lot on this forum. I don't know if that means anything about its popularity.
For the other issues I agree with PCM Programmer. |

I use UltraEdit with "hot keys" for command line compiler and command line ICD-U40 interface. It also has syntax highlighting, pop-up errors and will "jump to" the error. It shows functions defined in a pane to the right.
