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.
Compiled programs work with any 8051 uP such as AT89C1051, AT89C2051, 8031, 8032, 8051, 8052, 80552, 80535 and 80537 Processors.
Statements are highly compatible with Microsoft’s VB/QB.
Special commands for LCD-displays , I2C chips and 1WIRE chips.
Integrated terminal emulator with download option.
Integrated simulator for testing.
Integrated flash programmer and support for SPI, PG2051, PG302, SE512, SE514, TAFE. (hardware can be purchased separately)
Editor with statement highlighting.
Context sensitive help.
For compatibility with BASCOM LT, there is also a 32-bit version of the BASCOM LT compiler.
The following statements are supported :
Decision and structures IF, THEN, ELSE, ELSEIF, END IF, DO, LOOP, WHILE, WEND, UNTIL, EXIT DO, EXIT WHILE, FOR, NEXT, TO, DOWNTO, STEP, EXIT FOR, ON .. GOTO/GOSUB, SELECT, CASE.
String manipulation STRING, SPACE, LEFT, RIGHT, MID, VAL, HEXVAL, LEN, STR, HEX, LCASE, UCASE To make 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 (with additional hardware you can simulate the hardware too)
Program the chip with one of the integrated programmers (hardware must be purchased separately)
The 8051 processor is included in many special chips. BASCOM creates standard 8051 object code. So the object code can run on any 8051 compatible processor.
While we offer so called DAT files for many processors, it is impossible to write a DAT file for all the 8051 variants. The DAT files are however easy to make. They contain the hardware register names with their address.
The only thing you need to take care about is that some processors have modified instruction cycles. This means that these processors execute code faster than a normal 8051. This can effect some statements like WAITMS, WAIT, DELAY and other software timed instructions.
Alex-Dan (Friday, 28 February 2025) Rating: I have been using this compiler for a little less than a year. I am impressed by its work! Before that, I used another microcontroller, the Basсom-AVR compiler from the same company, for about 15 years. The usual functions from Bascom-Avr are very much missed. I hope that they will appear in this version of the compiler and editor!
I wish Mark health, good luck and financial success, peaceful skies!
