I intend to add more here in due course Also take a look at GNUPIC, http://www.gnupic.org for some freeware PIC tools. Hi-Tech Provide a free version of their C compiler PICC-Lite I have been playing with this, it works well and integrates with MPLAB. The free version supports the following parts: 16F877, 16F877A, 12F675, 12F629, 16F627, 16F627A, 16F684, 16C84, 16F84 and 16F84A but there are some limitations on memory sizes, typically supporting no more than 2K of RAM.
Sourceboost They have a
BASIC, C and C++ compiler for the Microchip PIC range with an integrated IDE. The device support is good, it covers the 12F, 16F and 18F families.
I have started to use their BoostBASIC compiler for a couple of small projects with some pleasing results. The free compiler supports 2K of program memory, enough for most projects, especially hobbyist ones. There are a number of different licences available, with prices to match the level required. Readily sold in the UK by Maplin and Farnell. CCS Inc Provide a C compiler for a wide range of PIC microcontrollers. The C2C compiler has evolved considerably since I last looked at it. It is a commercial product, with an IDE and more. Take a look. http://www.microchipc.com has many useful links, as the name implies.
