BASCOM-AVR© is an Integrated Development Environment that includes a BASIC Compiler for the Atmel AVR microcontroller family, Editor, AVR Simulator and In-System Programming support for a range of 3rd party hardware. It is designed to run on W95/W98/NT/W2000/XP and Vista.

BASCOM-AVR Key Benefits

• Structured BASIC with labels.
• Structured programming with IF-THEN-ELSE-END IF, DO-LOOP, WHILE-WEND, SELECT- CASE.
• Fast machine code instead of interpreted code.
• Variables and labels can be as long as 32 characters.
• Bit, Byte, Integer, Word, Long, Single and String variables.
• Large set of Trig Floating point functions. Date & Time calculation functions.
• Compiled programs work with all AVR microprocessors that have internal memory.
• Statements are highly compatible with Microsoft’s VB/QB.
• Special commands for LCD-displays , I2C chips and 1WIRE chips, PC keyboad, matrix keyboad, RC5 reception, software UART, SPI , graphical LCD, send IR RC5, RC6 or Sony code. TCP/IP with W3100A chip.
• Local variables, user functions, library support.
• Integrated terminal emulator with download option.
• Integrated simulator for testing.
• Integrated ISP programmer (application note AVR910.ASM).
• Many other programmers supported via the Universal Interface.
• Editor with statement highlighting.
• Context sensitive help.
• DEMO version compiles 4KB of code. Well suited for the AT90S2313.
• Special tcp/ip library, AT mouse simulator, AT keyboard simulator available as add-ons.

The following statements are supported (actually there are many more look in the helpfile):

To built a program takes just a few steps :

• Write the program in BASIC
• Compile it to fast machine binary code
• Test the result with the integrated simulator.
• Program the Atmel AVR micro with one of the supported programmers. (Programming hardware must be purchased separately).

Integrated Editor

Integrated Atmel AVR Simulator

The simulator lets you test your program before writing it to the AVR microcontroller. You can watch variables, step through the program one line at a time, run to a specific line, or alter variables. To watch a variable's value you simply point the mouse cursor over it.

A powerful feature is the built-in hardware simulator, to simulate an LCD display and the ports. The LCD simulator can also simulate custom build LCD characters.
