Apparently there is no support. I sent email to MCS Electronics in Holland  with no
response.

It is not worth the $100 savings over MikroElectronika 8051 BASIC
which is a very professionally run company. Also the IDE is much better allowing one
to select the proper chip and set up the UART communications.  That is very important
to me as I need to send a lot of data very quickly.

Mikro do what they say they are going to do.

-----------------------------------------------------------
This Mikro IDE is VERY comprehensive. It is going to take me a year to learn if fully
:) The Stop Watch feature tells me exactly how long it takes to execute an
instruction. In the case of zeroing an output port it is 2.4 micro seconds. I can now
retire my O-scope :) The BASIC command is "p0 = 0x00" Ironically about the same as a
1 Mhz 6502 written in asm.

This is going to be a real fun toy. Another thing it does is give you an asm listing
for every BASIC instruction or command. So much for BASIC compiler being slower than
asm. You can look at the code and decide if you can do it better in asm.

Another nice feature is the real time terminal program in a window on the IDE. When I
send out data I can see exactly what it is going to look like in a terminal program
running on a tablet.

BTW Mouser is now carrying Mikro products. The top of line 103 pin ARM cpu with clock
is only $23. The drawback from my perspective is it requires a large pc board for an
EFI system.

Exactly the same BASIC and IDE is available for the ARM. I can port my code at any
time to the ARM.
