what do you use for PIC, assembly, or C language?

Or BASIC maybe.

I used RISC assembly for a while, 16F and 18F, as well 16F extended range.
I have a codebase of about 1 megabyte sources now.
However it becomes more and more messy to maintain, means it can take a long while to understand a source from 3 years ago, especially when the schematics are absent.

So, recently I decided to use Hitech-C in the future.
I tried it one evening and had a small program running after only some minutes.

It is not I do not like assembly, or I could not understand it.
But, doing advanced things results in length sources stretching over pages, and in C
it is considerably less lines. As well the banking is now handled by the compiler.

PIC32 assembly is very complicated- too complicated for me actually, I have taken a look the programming manuals. For PIC32 C language is the only way to go!

It is very easy to use CCS compiler to program microcontroller PIC. You can see anywhere on this forum to study it or http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/

this LED matrix clock was programmed using Hitech C!

http://pic.hitechworld.org/ledmatrixclock.html

LCD supply 3 volts, charge pump IC for LCD glass.
4 bit mode.

3x4 LEDs matrix

RTC IC

dc/dc converter, 1.2v supply

The time is loaded at startup from the RTC.

most of the 2K program memory is used up already.

Oh, thank for your sharing information.
