PicShell is a small IDE for the JALv2 language, used to program MicroChip's PIC microcontrollers. This product is provided "as is" and is free (GPLv3). Use it at your own risk.

PIC Simulation :This is the main reason why PicShell exists. Picshell has a builting 14 bit PIC Simulator, which is based upon a 16F877 (but which may also be used for 16F876, 16F628 etc...). The simulator allow some user interaction, and content some external devices like LED, LCD, UART Terminal or buttons for quick code testing. PicShell support ASM and JAL level debugging.

Code Editing :Picshell provide a builting Editor with syntax highlignting, auto-completion and type-assist feature.

Unit Testing :Picshell provide some mechanism to achieve Unit testing, A good way to detect regression in your code. (see a basic example in Flash Demo 3)
