Hello, I'm a beginner using the Positron compiler; I recently purchased it. I have a question: are there any technical difficulties in integrating the Positron compiler into Proteus, in the same way it's done with other compilers? Thank you for your attention!

Proteus works with Positron .bas files if the CPU is an old device and .cof files for the newer devices

Proteus has issues with multi file programs and has a general issue with variables in the watch window. But I find it invaluable for my coding.

Thank you for your reply, TimB.
Best regards.

As Tim stated, the compiler's high level code is able to be simulated in the Isis part of proteus, and moved step by step etc...

On the microcontroller in the circuit, right mouse click, and choose the .bas or .cof or .hex file to simulate. If the code is required to stop and step etc, load a .bas or .cof file, because a .hex will just run and does not contain any high level commands in it (BASIC commands).

On the older devices, a .bas file was all that was required, but now it requires a .cof file. So make sure you add the 'Declare Create_Coff = True' to the code listing.
