Anyway you have a full free compiler.I have found it fery useful!3) The best compiler for pic is the IAR, anyway it cost much.No dubt about this is the best!4) You speak about PIC16F84A.

Your problem could be among any of these or none whatsoever.but it would be good if i can have a look at the code.Thanks for checking! Dadebertolino 30-Sep-08 0:2430-Sep-08 0:24as an introduction in microcontrollers programming, anyway.1) MikroC is not from Microchip but from MikroElektronika.And, as I know, You cant use it in MPLAB environment, nor You can use Microchip ICD2 to debug.It is a quite low cost compiler, but you have not the source of the libraries.Damn!2) Microchip offer a compiler (PICC18) produced from itself in a free student version for PIC 18 series.In this version you have a full compiler, no optimization.

For example, from HI-TIDE software, their compiler PIC C Pro produces a hex file 52% smaller than the free version (PIC C Lite!)6. Some compilers are built to have omniscient code generation ( this is basically well calculated code optimization techniques that look for redundant code and eliminate it in a good manner-to put it plainly). Though it would be a realy inefficient one i would say.
