Picaxe basic vs picbasic

i know that this is the most stupid question ever but there is my question

 

 

wich is the easiest language between picaxebasic  picbasic

 

is that the samething?

 

They’re not the same, but

They’re not the same, but they’re similar (both built from the BASIC language). In terms of the actual languages I’d imagine they’re about as easy to learn as each other as well.

The main difference is that PICAXE BASIC is used to program PICAXE microcontrollers, which are in fact PIC microcontrollers with the PICAXE bootloader programmed into them. You’ll need to use a proper PICAXE chip and PICAXE programming cable to use PICAXE BASIC.

PICBASIC is a compiler that allows you to program normal PIC micros in the BASIC language without using a bootloader. On the other hand you’ll need a more advanced programmer to actually get the code onto the PIC chip.

Overall the PICAXE system is more popular here at LMR, because the hardware is easier to use. There are users here who program PIC micros in BASIC too (PICBASIC is just one option) if you want to explore that option, but you’ll probably find help is easier to come by if you use PICAXE.
