Great COW BASIC SYNTAXThe syntax of Great Cow BASIC is based on that of QBASICFree. BASIC, but, with some adaptions to suit the vastly different system that it compiles for a microcontroller. Great Cow BASIC will allow you to program most 8 bit PIC microcontrollers 1. F, 1. 2C, 1. 2F, 1. C, 1. 6F, 1. 8C and 1. F chips, and most AVR microcontrollers Classic AVR, Tiny AVR and Mega AVR. Great Cow BASIC features are Simple, useful language. Standard BASIC flow control statements If, Select Case, Do, For, While Loop. Support for multiply, divide, add, subtract, Boolean operations and comparisons. Bit, Byte, Word, Long and Integer and String data types, in addition to byte and word arrays. Subroutines and Functions. Inline assembly, in most cases without any special directives. Data tables. Complex Maths. Portable, reusable code. Supports 8 bit PIC and AVR microcontrollers. Write code for a Tiny. AVR, easily adapt it for an 1. FAutomatically recalculates all delay commands depending on the clock speed of the chip. IO capabilities. Standard LCD and GLCD routines. Routines for on chip AD, I2. C, PWM 8bit, 1. 0bit, 1. SPI, USART, EEPROM, Timers. RS2. 32 communications rates between 3. PS2 keyboard reading and 4x. Keypad. Other features. Libraries for the largest range of add on components. Extensive help file and forum. Several translations. Generates standard MPASM compatible assembly code for PIC, or avrasm. AVR.

Watch the video below this shows the some of the capabilities of Great Cow BASIC. Top Great Cow Graphical BASICGreat Cow Graphical BASIC is an icon based program editor. It allows you to create Great Cow BASIC programs without having to memorise commands. This makes it particularly useful for those who have never done any programming before. And, as with Great Cow BASIC, its completely free Great Cow Graphical BASIC is tightly integrated with Great Cow BASIC it will work with all of the same chips, and loads and saves GCBASIC programs directly. You can even copy and paste between Great Cow Graphical BASIC and a text editor with a Great Cow BASIC program in it GCGB will load GCB libraries, and when youre comfortable to leave the icons behind, your GCGB programs can be edited like any other Great Cow BASIC program. Currently, Great Cow Graphical BASIC will only run on Windows and requires the. NET Framework 1. 1 or higher. Top.
