Hi to all.
I'm having a difficult time getting started. For one thing the Introduction page found in the help files recommends reading the Great Cow Graphical Basic Tutorial but makes no mention of where it is. Typing "tutorial" in the help\search box doesn't return it. Neither does typing "tutorial" in the help\index box.
My other issue is the Hardware Settings. For my first project I want to keep it very simple so a simple flashing LED will suffice. I chose an old PIC16F88 for my MCU because it's the chip used in a ASM tutorial I'm studying. My problem is none of the hardware descriptions seem applicable. After all, I'm not building an LCD, 7 Seg Display or any of the hardware listed.
Finding the Demos folder wasn't intuitive either. I'm surprised it's not included under the "File" menu; which is usually SOP.
Thanks

Maybe check out my site GreatCowBasic.com. I have a free to download manual and also sample programs for getting started. I also have a version of the IDE that is customized with the PICkit 2 programming software built in.
Its written for the PIC16F886 CHIPINO module but it can just was easily adapt to any PIC including the PIC16F88. Just change to top line #chip 16F886 to #chip 16F88 in the sample programs.

Better late than never they say. That's why I'm responding two years later. Thanks for the reply and hopefully I now have my notifications checked properly in my profile.
