PIC and GUI commands

DRkidd22 · Guest

Hello,

I'm new to the microchip world and I'm trying to create a GUI so that a user can interact with it. Say send a command to the PIC to turn on an LED from just a click of a mouse if using a computer or just use a touchscreen maybe. I would be using C to write the code. Can anyone point me in the right path as for the GUI is?.

Thanks,
Jose

Jose,

I have an unconfirmed suspicion that the majority of the PIC developers are using Visual Basic 6.0 (or VB6 for short). If you search this forum for "VB6", you’ll probably find leads on how to develop the GUI and connect it to the PIC.

At the same time, there’s nothing exclusive about VB6 that makes it a language of choice for PC host application GUI. So, tell us the PC programming languages that you’re comfortable with, and we’ll point you to the right information.
