GCBASIC is an open-source BASIC compiler for 8 bit Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR legacy, AVRDx and LGT microcontrollers. Also included in the project is Graphical GCBASIC, an icon based editor for GCBASIC programs.
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 1300's 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.
Please see the homepage here: http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net and also see http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/download.html for other GCBASIC download options.

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 GCBASIC

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 GCBASIC

First time I had contact to GCB is now 8 years ago. I did multiple projects with GCB. As time went by, it became more and more comfortable and it's a nice complement for doing some works with micro processors. I still love it. Thanks to Evan and his crew! Very excellent jobs done!Reply from GCBASIC

A brilliant IDE, very versatile. In a previous life I programmed PIC devices using assembler but with the latest devices (and my age - 79) this is no longer possible so a high level language became necessary. Well done to all concerned.Reply from GCBASIC
