Hello all,

Does anyone know any PIC simulator, free software for PC to check some basic stuff code and able to read the HEX file?
Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Filipe Santos.

Hi Filipe

 

Also a PIC simulator that uses the hex file made with JalEdit: SimulIDE

 

Greetings,

Peter

Beware, you will not be able to simulate your code as is, just non delayed routines, some math computations, etc. Old jal had a built in simulator for this, it was good stuff at that time...

Hi Vasile,

Hi have played with this one but it is not free: https://oshonsoft.com/pic.php
PIC SIMULATOR IDE (with pic basic compiler) HOMEPAGE. PIC Simulator IDE is powerful application that supplies Microchip microcontroller users with user-friendly graphical development environment for Windows with integrated simulator (emulator), pic basic compiler, assembler, disassembler and debugger. PIC Simulator IDE supports the extensive number of microcontrollers (MCUs) from the Microchip ...

I also did some debugging using MPLABX. You can load your hexfile and step through the code. When using a PICkit3 you can also set a breakpoint and stop but it is not easy since you need the asm file to find out where you are.

Kind regards,

Rob

Oshon was free at the beginning of jal...Very nice colours...:)

 It's impossible to simulate a hex without comment delays first, or set breakpoints. Unless you want to be sure that delays  works ok. :)  Of course if still choose line by line simulation on the entire source retirement will definitely happen untill finish.
On the other hand, spending time on simulation is valuable. Finally you can realise that simulator does not work as it should...:)

Hi

 

In SimulIDE you make in the left screen the hardware with the PIC. In the right screen you can load the hexfile and then load it in the PIC.

You can use ‘multimeters’ that tells you the voltage or placed in the circuit the amperage.

You can also use switches to disconnect parts of your hardware.

 

Greetings,

Peter
