GCBASIC is an open-source BASIC compiler for 8 bit Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR legacy, AVRDx and LGT microcontrollers.
See https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Story-of-GCBASIC-Making-Microcontroller-Progr-D1D319SJ72 for story of GCBASIC.
This is a continuous release project. The latest release is always available. This will give you the most complete development toolchain to create and program 8-bit PIC, AVR and LGT microcontrollers.
We have added new capabilities that make GCBASIC the easiest tool set available - supporting over 1400 microcontrollers with tools to make this fun and simple.
Please see the download section for your options. We have two IDEs, we have just the compiler and we have a minimal install - it is your choice.

Using GCBasic to write embedded system code using PIC processors. A while back, I stumbled on some compiler bugs which were fixed quite quickly. I find I have to look at the ASM output to see what has been produced, and sometimes, I have to drop into assembly code to fit the timing constraints of the real-time system. Thanks guys!

Super program, very easy to useReply from GCBASICPosted 2024-11-06
Great to hear! Thank you. -
This is a great project. I tried to start programming several times, but due to the complexity of syntax in modern programming languages, I gave up this idea. Thanks to this project, I was able to write the first program after a few days of studying. I ran into a compilation problem, and I wrote about it to the guys on the forum, the guys immediately responded and helped.Reply from GCBASICPosted 2024-08-27
Thank you! Good luck with your projects!! -
I absolutely love GCBasic. The software has made it easy for someone like me, a non programmer to enjoy the electronics hobby with minimum frustration. Microcontroller projects can be coded easily and quickly even for beginners like myself. Software is easy to use and does pretty much anything I would ever need. I appreciate everyone's effort who works on GCBasic!Reply from GCBASICPosted 2024-04-22
