About Libraries
GCBASIC (as with most other microcontroller programming languages) supports libraries.
You can create your own device-specific library - you are not limited to those shown below. If you create a new device-specific library, please submit it for inclusion in the next release via the GCBASIC forum.
Maintenance of these libraries is completed by the GCBASIC development team. If you wish to adapt these libraries, you should create a local copy, edit it, and save it within your development file structure. The development team may update these libraries as part of a release, and we do not want you to lose your local changes.
To use a library, simply include the following in your user code:
#include <3PI.H> 'this will include the 3PI capabilities within your program
To use a local copy of a library, simply include the following in your user code:
#include "C:\mydev\library\3pi.h" 'this will include a local copy of the 3PI capabilities within your program
GCBASIC supports the following device libraries.
