ZBasic Forum

Hello People.
I just bought a ZX-24s that I hope it feets in my Parallax Education Board of my Boe-Bot. I choose a native microcontroller because know C/C++ and I would like to learn some things on Assembly.
I found in download page a library for native mode. In libraries I usually find a Header file and a static lib file (with .lib extension). How can I use Zbasic Library and compiler with Visual Studio ?
Also I would like to know if is there any guide of how to start. A simple source code of how to Initialize and SET HIGH and LOW pins, send pulse to Servo etc.

Thanks in advance

It should work perfectly in the BoeBot.

ZBasic was not designed to be used in conjunction with Visual Studio. You may be able to configure Visual Studio to launch the ZBasic compiler but I have no specific information about how to do that. If you know how to configure it to launch an external application you'll want to consult the section of the ZBasic Language Reference Manual that describes the compiler command line options.

I've posted a short "getting started" guide that should be sufficient to get you going.

To proceed further, you're going to need to become familiar with some of the hundreds of subroutines and functions comprising the ZBasic System Library and determine how they might be useful for some particular objective you have. You can also take a look at some of the code posted in the Files section of this forum. Another resource is any BasicX or ZBasic code that you can find on the Internet. If you already know Parallax PBasic, you can use the PBasic Conversion Guide to get a feel for how familiar concepts are implemented in ZBasic.
