What’s Next?

You have now completed the journey through each and every feature of the EasyPIC PRO v8 development board. You have become familiar with its modules, organization, and 
the programmer/debugger. Now you are ready to start using your new board. We suggest following steps which are highly recommended to begin with.

 

Easy programming, clean interface, powerful debugging, excellent support - 
our compilers come in three different flavors: mikroC PRO for PIC, mikroBASIC 
PRO for PIC and mikroPASCAL PRO for PIC, offering a complete rapid embedded 
development solution for these 3 major programming languages.

Fast, professional, multiplatform, and multi-architectural Necto Studio is in 
already the air. Support for PIC compiler inside the Necto studio is just around the 
corner. For more information, please visit:

We invite you to join thousands of users of Mikroe development tools. Find useful 
projects and tutorials and get help from a large user community. Get libraries for 
your favorite click boards straight from the compilers IDE using Libstock Manager.
If you want to download free projects and libraries or share your code, please visit 
the Libstock website. With user profiles, you can get to know other programmers, 
and subscribe to receive notifications on their code

Once you have chosen your compiler, and since you already got the board, you 
are ready to start writing your first projects. We have equipped our compilers with 
dozens of examples that demonstrate the use of every feature of the EasyPIC PRO 
v8 development board,  delivering an excellent starting point for future custom 
projects. Just load the example, read well-commented code, and see how it works 
on hardware.

 

Mikroe offers free Tech Support to the end of its life span, so if anything goes 
wrong, we are ready and willing to help. We know how important it is to be able 
to rely on someone in the moments when we are stuck with our projects for any 
reason, or facing a deadline. This is why our Support Department, as one of the 
pillars upon which our company is based, now also offers the Premium Technical 
Support to business users, ensuring even shorter time-frame for solutions. The 
WiFi debugger feature offers additional level of technical support, allowing our 
team to provide help by directly connecting to the end users hardware.
