mikroBasic for dsPIC In this simple tutorial, we will create a new project, write some code and compile it in mikroBasic for dsPIC and test the results. Our project will make LED diodes blink, so it can be easily tested on dsPIC microcontrollers.

Creating first project in mikroBasic for dsPIC
Hardware Connection Here is the connection scheme youll need to test the code for microcontroller. We have used common chip in our examples, but you may use any other microcontroller. LED diodes are connected to PORTB, but you can use any other available port you would need to replace few lines in the code, as explained in the following pages.

Step 1: Install the compiler
Install the mikroBasic for dsPIC compiler. Desktop shortcut and start menu shortcuts will be created.
Step 2: Run the compiler
Run the mikroBasic for dsPIC compiler. mikroBasic IDE (Integrated Development Environment) will appear.
Step 3: Start the Wizard
Click the New Project icon or select Project > New Project from the drop-down menu:
New Project.

Step 4: Set up your project Project Wizard dialog will appear - fill the dialog with appropriate settings for your project: - Enter a name for your new project, - Choose project path, - Enter short text which describes your project (this is optional), - Choose the microcontroller from drop-down menu (we have chosen the one that is used in schematic for selected microcontroller, you may select any other), - Set the device clock by entering the value in edit box (we have set the same value as drawn in schematic), - Set configuration bits (Device Flags) by clicking Default, - After you have set up your project, click OK to continue.

Step 5: Write the code
Compiler will create the project file and
an accompanying source file, named same as your project. This source file will be automaticaly opened in the Code Editor, so we can write the source code. This is the Code Editor:

Led blinking for mikroBasic for dsPIC: Here is the code that will make LEDs on PORTB blink every second. Type it in the Code Editor (if there is any default code you can over write it):
File: Page:
program Led_blinking main: while TRUE TRISB = 0 LATB = %11111111 while true LATB = not PORTB delay_ms(1000) wend wend end.
ProjName.dbas 1 od 1
' Endless loop
' Configure pins of PORTB as output ' Turn ON diodes on PORTB ' Toggle diodes on portb
Note: If you want to try another port, just replace each instance of LATB and TRISB in code with your port, e.g. LATC/TRISC.
Step 6: Build! Now its time to build our project. First, save your file by clicking on the Save Icon, or click Ctrl+S. Select Project > Build from the drop-down menu, or click the Build Icon. You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+F9. Build.
Compiler will generate output files in the project folder. There should be 4 new files: ProjectName.asm, ProjectName.lst, ProjectName.mcl, and ProjectName.hex. The last one will be used to program the microcontroller directly.
Step 7: Real World test
To burn the dsPIC you can use the compilers integrated (dsPICprog) programmer (default shortcut is F11) or any other programmer for selected microcontroller. As a result, LEDs connected to PORTB of programmed microcontroller should blink indefinitely.
