What advantages does the ICC11w (the one with IDE) have over using the cheaper DOS version and the freeware PCBUG11?
Here are a few important advantages: 1. The IDE downloads TJ code about 10 times faster than PCBUG11. This makes a tremendous difference in development time. Instead of waiting several minutes to download a program after each minor change, you will wait only a few seconds. AND if you have the TJ Pro you can easily use the high speed ram downloader with ICC11 and download at over 100 times faster than PCBUG11. 2. The “Terminal” simulator of IDE permits TJ to send data to your screen without any further setup, seamlessly and effortlessly. This simulator is always invoked when downloading .s19 files, so the very process of downloading opens up terminal communication with TJ! 3. Of course the other features of an integrated development environment apply: *Browse feature to access files anywhere for editing *Compiler setup for TJ and other Mekatronix robots invoked by name *Editor Window…….edit programs *Status Window…….report compilation errors and location *Terminal Window 1. down
