mikroICD - In-Circuit Debugger
The mikroICD is a highly effective tool for a Real-Time debugging on hardware level. The mikroICD debugger enables you to execute the mikroBasic PRO for PIC 2009 program on a host PIC microcontroller and view variable values, Special Function Registers (SFR), RAM, CODE and EEPROM memory along with the mikroICD code execution on hardware.
If you have appropriate hardware and software for using mikroICD then you have to upon completion of writing your program to choose between Release build Type or ICD Debug build type.
Project Manager, Code Explorer, Library Manager
Project Manager is IDE feature which allows users to manage multiple projects. Several projects which together make project group may be open at the same time. Only one of them may be active at the moment. Setting project in active mode is performed by double click on the desired project in the Project Manager.
Code Explorer allows you to easily monitor variables, functions, procedures and other program items. Clicking on the element positions the main window to its definition line - very useful for finding procedures and other elements in long units.
Library Manager enables simple handling libraries being used in a project. Library Manager window lists all libraries (extencion .mcl) which are instantly stored in the compiler Uses folder. The desirable library is added to the project by selecting check box next to the library name.

Code Editor
mikroBasic PRO for PIC 2009 has highly adaptable Code Editor, fashioned to satisfy needs of both novice users and experienced programmers. With Editor's advanced features, developing your application becomes easy and comfortable.
Code Assistant
Code Assistant is a valuable tool, saving you time in code writing. If you type first few letters of a word and press CTRL+SPACE, all valid identifiers matching the letters you typed will be prompted in a floating panel (see the image). Now you can keep typing to narrow the choice, or you can select an item from the list.
Parameter Assistant
Parameter Assistant feature is invoked whenever you open a parenthesis "(" or press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE. If you have typed a name of valid function or procedure, the expected parameters will be prompted in a floating panel. As you type the actual parameter, next expected parameter becomes highlighted.
Auto Correct
Auto Correct feature automatically corrects your common typing mistakes. You can add your own preferences to the list of recognized typos.
Code Templates
You can insert code template by typing the name of the template (for instance, whileb), followed by CTRL+J; Code Editor automatically generates the desired code snippet. Or, you can click the button from Code Toolbar and select a template from the list. You can add your own templates to the list, with no limitations regarding the contents or size of the code.
Syntax Highlighting
You can configure Editor colors and syntax highlighting to best suit your needs - from background color to specific keywords.
Enhanced Undo/Redo Option
Code Editor lets you perform Undo/Redo option up to 1024 times, making debugging less tiresome task.
Print and Print Preview
Code Editor has an option of printing the active window in case you need your program code in paper. Print Preview feature lets you arrange layout of the page before printing.
Software Simulator
mikroBasic PRO for PIC 2009 IDE includes an excellent source-level debugger to help you troubleshoot and repair your application faster. After you have successfully compiled your project, you can run Debugger by choosing Debugger Menu item, or Debug [F9]. Now advanced debugging options are available to you: Step Into [F7], Step Over [F8], and Run To Cursor [F4].
Breakpoints
You can manage breakpoints from the Breakpoints dialog. Double clicking an item jumps to the appropriate breakpoint line in the code.
Watch Window
Watch Window allows you to monitor program items during runtime simulation. It displays variables and controller's SFR (Special Function Registers), their addresses and values. Values are updated as you go through the simulation.

BASIC for PIC microcontrollers
What did we thereby get? Before all, the time of writing was shortened by employment of prepared functions that BASIC brings in (whose programming in assembler would have taken the biggest portion of time). In this way, the programmer can concentrate on solving the essential task without losing his time on writing the code for LCD display. [more]
