Proton Compiler and Free Proton24 Compiler by Crownhill Associates Ltd
Proton Compiler and Free Proton24 Compiler are high-level BASIC compilers designed for fast, reliable development on Microchip PIC microcontrollers. Proton Compiler focuses on 8-bit PIC devices, while Proton24 targets 16-bit PIC24 and dsPIC devices. Both tools combine a readable BASIC syntax with an efficient code generator, making them suitable for hobbyists, educators, and professional embedded engineers alike.
Key capabilities include rich, ready-to-use libraries for common peripherals (such as I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, ADC, timers), structured code constructs, interrupt support, and optional inline assembly for low-level control. The compilers integrate with Crownhill’s development environment, offer abundant examples and documentation, and produce compact HEX files ready for standard Microchip programmers and debuggers.
The Free Proton24 Compiler provides a no-cost path into 16-bit PIC development, ideal for learning, evaluation, and rapid prototyping, while maintaining a familiar workflow consistent with the Proton toolchain.
