Proton PICbasic V3_5_0_6 versus Proton+ Basic Compiler V3.2.5.5

[Eddy vd Boom]

Hi, I have Proton+ Basic Compiler V3.2.5.5 with the USB dongle Key
but on the web I download the Proton PICbasic V3_5_0_6
what is the difference between these two Versions?

Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

Thanks a Lot
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

The difference is a lot of improvement. If you download the latest CR then there are a lot more of improvements. This can be downloaded from the Beta section.

Eddie,
one thig to do, although it is a pain.. is to print off the manual and compare differences, BUT ! first, look at the HELP > DOCUMENTS > WHATS NEW section of PDS under your new 3506, that will give you a lot but not ALL info... a great start though.
And yes, as my good friend Joseph rightly says, the Beta (RC) 3526 is simply excellent -

Please remember to back up ALL your existing PDS projects and keep them same just in case -

Hi Captainslarty, you talk about a Beta (RC) 3526 release how can I get this
because on the web I download the V3.5.0.6 release.
Thanks

As a licensed user you will have access to the Beta section. It is at the bottom of the Forum page - scroll right down.
In there you will find a thread and post from Les that has the download and instructions. It also has a What's New when installed and you can see the improvements.
Cheers
John

Hi John thanks, I download now from thread of Les the Proton Compiler V3.5.2.6. and Proton User Macros and I like to try out what is new and better.
I have a small 16F876A project with LCD display , 3 buttons and sensor to 5V converter PCB but I like to change the 16F876A with 16F886
Hope it will do.

G'day Eddy,
I'm not familiar with the 886. Read the data sheets. You may find that you have to change the configure statements but I suspect that changes will be minimal.
