ACE is a interpreter (A C Emulator) for a subset of standard ANSI C that runs on the PIC family of microprocessors. It is intended for the same category of applications as the Basic Stamp™ system produced by Parallax Inc. Support is built in for the debouncing of inputs and the control of RC servos. Two of the ports are internally programmed to control 2 standard RC servos.There are about 45 PIC registers available to the user in the free demonstation version for the 4MHz PIC 16F84. This version executes about 1200 lines of C code per second whilst controlling two servos.
- Very little knowledge of the microprocessor is needed.
- Program in the world's most important standard programming language. You will never need to learn another language.
- Brilliant debugging assistance.
- Compile your programs to run under Windows using a free C++ compiler. Graphical aids are provided to display the state of output ports and servos. A simple C program can be written to drive the input ports depending on the PIC output and thus 'close the loop'. This makes debugging real time programs really easy.
- The system can be seamlessly integrated with a number of free or public domain program editors. In addition to source code highlighting this provides automatic jumping to the the correct source code line if an error report is clicked.
