ZBasic Forum

Don, before I discovered Zbasic I was going to purchase an educational developmenrt board from futurlec.com.au
for AVR chips
I guess this board will not work with Zbasic microcontrollers? if not is there anything out there with similar functionality ?

Best Regards,
Mike.

I didn't really have a partiucular chip in mind., Thanks for explaining all the work thaat goes into enabling a Zbasic chip. I had no idea it required that much work and I think the microcontrollers you have on offer would satisfy any project I come up with. What is native mode and VM difference ? M...

Just a purely theoretical question; could the Zbasic bootloader/interpreter be programmed into more Atmel chips. I wish you would if it could happen as I'd rather use Zbasic than any othrer language.!!!

Hi,
I am wondering if I can use Zbasic with any chips I buy from Atmel ?

I will also use the stamp clones sold here but still is it possible to buy an AVR chip and use Zbasic ?

I love the VB like syntax, I would rather use Zbasic than Bascom AVR.

Sincerely,
Mike.

Some of the problemis my computer us freezing so i figure my posts are not gettingn through,

Just checking, the parallax Board of Education is compatible with the Zbasic 24 pin module microcontroller? The BOE is cheaper and has a breadboard built in. Seems easier option than the Dev boards I see here! But if I bought a DEV Board here would it work with the 24 pin microcontroller and other m...

Thankyou.

I downloaded the files and extracted them , I thought there would be an installer of something simple to get the ZBasic IDE running.
I have two folders Scintilla and SciTE and theree ate batch files in them.

I havent a clue how to install the IDE

I just got back from Toowoomba (Australia) to pick up all my electronics. The house had been broken into and among other things all the Stamps and board , manuals and kits that came with it all have been stolen. So now Im up for hundreds by the time u convert US bucks into australian. At least I sti...

I have spent TOO much time at the other BasicX site. I also got confused and did a fgoogle search for XBasic (rather than BasicX) I got dozens of hits but seemed to me XBasic is used fior everything but microcontrollers. Please How Much is the Starter kit for ZBasic 24 pin, cables software ;the lot ...

Thankyou dk for the direct link. Mike.

Instead of using 8 pins to connect the keypad, what is the cheapest module to use to connect a keypad to the microcontroller. What do you call it so I sound like i know what im talking about when i walk into the shop ?

I have not come across any ZBasic products in Australian electronics mags I buy. Are you interested in an Australian distributor ?
