Introduction

Proton Development Suite combines the Proton Plus Compiler with a brand new IDE and Virtual Simulation Environment, creating a PICmicro BASIC development environment suitable for both hobbyists and professionals.

The Proton Development Suite is the result of a collaboration between three British companies that lead their field, Crownhill Associates, Mecanique and Labcenter.

Suitable for all levels of user, from outright beginner to seasoned professionals writing commercial applications, the Proton Development Suite will allow you to develop your code in a brand new IDE, then compile your BASIC program and view the resulting assembly language commented with your own code!

It's simple:

  1. Write your BASIC code in the Proton IDE
  2. Compile your code with the click of a button
  3. Then test your code with the Virtual Simulator, or upload the code to your PICmicro using the IDE's programmer integration.

Licensing reworked

You asked us, and we listened. We've eliminated the hassle of registration and activation codes by replacing them with a USB hardware license key. The next time your hard drive crashes or you upgrade your PC, you won't have to ferret around looking for your invoice number to authenticate with us — just reinstall the Development Suite, plug in the USB Key and go!

Update Policy

It is our policy to offer free updates to the Proton Development Suite. This includes bug fixes, new commands and enhancements etc. via the built-in Auto Update facility. So long as you have access to the internet the Development Suite can auto-update and keep you synchronised with the latest version.

Because we offer free updates, the cost of ownership is limited to the original purchase price. There are no hidden charges, unlike some competitive products that may charge a license fee for the compiled code, charge for bug fixes and updates, or charge an annual support fee.

With other PICBASIC compilers you will pay many times the original cost of the compiler over the lifetime of the product. Not with Proton Development Suite!
