mikroPascal is a full-featured Pascal compiler that is available for seven different microcontroller architectures (in this case, for FT90x processors from FTDI). It features an intuitive IDE, a powerful compiler with advanced optimizations, lots of hardware and software libraries, and additional tools that will help you in your work. The compiler comes with a comprehensive Help file (700 pages) and lots of ready-to-use examples designed to get you started in no time. Each compiler license includes free upgrades and tech support for the lifetime of the product. The software features a Live Update service so you can get new features and improvements instantly. It is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. The mikroPascal PRO for FT90x compiler supports all eight FT90x microcontrollers: FT900, FT901, FT902, FT903, FT905, FT906, FT907, FT908. Any newly released microcontrollers in the line will be supported by new versions of the compiler software that is updated regularly. The compiler is designed to be smart and efficient, so you can rely on it to do the hard work. It features four levels of optimizations that can reduce your code size up to 20 percent. mikroPascal PRO for FT90x Pascal Compiler Features Single-click Debugging mikroPascal PRO for FT90x has native support for hardware step-by-step debugging when used with the fast USB 2.0 mikroProg-FT90x programmer. The debugging module supports Step-over, Step-Into, Step-Out, Run, and Run-to-Cursor debugging operations. Also, the debugger supports standard and advanced breakpoints. Faster, better, more productive mikroPascal PRO for FT90x comes equipped with fully functional software tools that can boost your efficiency and do the job for you, so you can be more productive in your work: EEPROM Editor, LCD Custom Character Tool, GLCD Bitmap Editor, Seven-Segment Editor, UART Terminal, UDP Terminal, ASCII Chart, Active Comments Editor, Interrupt Assistant, Advanced Statistics and more. Design. Develop. Share. The compiler easily becomes your TFT GUI design studio when used with Visual TFT additional software. Even total beginners will be able to create amazing GUIs. The Drag-and-drop development environment of that program ensures that you spend less time programming, allowing you to focus on functionality and design. Distribute your projects with the free Package Manager software and your end users will have powerful single-click package extraction and installation of your code. mikroPascal PRO for FT90x IDE Features  Library Manager Only mikroPascal offers the unique mechanism to use any available library in your project easily. Special OneClick technology allows you to speed up your development. There's no need for dozens of uses directives — just click on the checkboxes of the libraries you need and they will be available in your code instantly. The Library Manager is programmed to allow easy usage of third-party libraries installed with Package Manager software. Edit Project Edit Project gives you a full overview of the entire set of configuration bits in each chip, but also reduces your chances of error. Select only among listed options, described in plain English. Edit Project includes predefined schemes of oscillator settings for most widely used microcontrollers. Simply load your desired scheme, and you're ready to go. Code Assistant CTRL-SPACE is probably the most widely used shortcut. It initiates Code Assistant — the programmer's first-aid kit. You won't need to memorize function names. Focus on your code, and let the syntax write itself correctly. Write function calls with one tap of the keyboard. Code Assistant in mikroPascal PRO for FT90x also suggests correct names of constants, URLs, Active Comments, and variables, so you have it all covered. You don't ever have to get another Syntax Error message.  Interrupt Assistant FT90x microcontrollers have a complex interrupt system. mikroPascal makes it simple. CTRL+ALT+I initiates your guide to writing correct interrupt handlers. Just choose among suggested values, and you will have a working interrupt in no time. Parameter Assistant Many functions; even more parameters. Was it word, or byte? You don't have to scroll through the Help file. Just hit CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE, and the function parameters will be listed for you. Project Explorer Don't waste your time browsing for examples; let them come to you. The Project Explorer window leads you to your projects. It displays all of the compiler's many included examples by default. Simply point the path to any other folder, and a fast recursion-search algorithm will extract all projects inside and will display a tree view of your project files up to any depth. Double-click opens the project and sets it as active. Easily switch between the projects as often as you want, and you will have stable RAM consumption.  Active Comments Active Comments are a unique feature of mikroPascal PRO for FT90x. Any comment can become your multimedia event hook. Add images, files and URLs to any active comment, and assign events as you like. Right Mouse Click can open a browser with a URL; Mouse Over can display an image; Double Click can open a specified file. Quick Converter Use the Quick Converter to turn binary, float, HEX and Radix 1.15 formats into formats you need in your code. It even displays ASCII values of your bytes. Built-in Tools mikroPascal PRO for FT90x offers you several useful integrated tools that will help you get the job done with minimum effort. Built-in tools include: Active Comment Editor, ASCII chart, EEPROM Editor, Export Code To HTML Tool, GLCD Bitmap Editor, Interrupt Assistant, LCD Custom Character, Seven Segment Editor, UDP Terminal, USART Terminal.  Code Folding When your code outgrows the size of your screen, it's always better to fold those completed blocks, and work in a more clear surrounding. This way you always can see the big picture. Software Simulator If you want to go through your code and monitor the values of your variables, searching for bugs and errors, then Software Simulator is the best way to do so. Software Simulator supports the same debugging modes as mikroICD, but instead of executing the code on real hardware, it simulates code flow on your PC. Using Watch Clock, you can measure the code execution time precisely in microseconds or in clock cycles. Advanced Statistics After you build your project, you always can look under the hood with mikroPascal Advanced Statistics. It is a powerful tool that shows you the most important information about your project graphically. Take a look at your variables, arrays and constants, and know how much memory your program consumes. See which function calls which in the functions tree window. See how big your functions are and how they are linked in memory, which is important if you want to write your own bootloader. mikroPascal PRO for FT90x Library Routines mikroPascal PRO for FT90x includes a set of libraries and examples intended to facilitate your work, including over 800 library functions. Libraries are fully documented and allow a quick start in programming microcontrollers. Browse through the supplied examples and learn how to utilize FT90x MCUs with minimum code and effort. See the mikroPascal PRO for FT90x Libraries and Specifics pages for detailed descriptions and examples of all the built-in libraries and routines. Download additional libraries: WiFi, USB Host, USB Device. mikroPascal PRO for FT90x Resources mikroPascal PRO for FT90x Software License Download mikroPascal PRO for FT90x v1.20 free of charge. Ordinarily the software will function as a demo version with an 8192-byte code size limit. If you want to experience the software fully before purchase, you can activate a one-time 45-day trial license. Start the software, then go to Help → Software Activation and click Request the time trial License. With your purchase, you are entitled to an Activation Key that will unlock the software permanently. Start the software, then go to Help → Software Activation and click Request the License from the line at the bottom that says, "I own the license, but didn't get the key." You then can fill out a form in which you can indicate us as the distributor so we can tie your request to your order. We then will send you an activation key, typically within one business day.
