title: How to Programme PIC Microcontroller without Using MPLAB X
body: <p>I am Making a MicroPLc and has choosen PIC24FJ series as controller. IN PLC World People use LAD, FBD, STL ,etc for Programming not c or c++.</p>
  
  <p>There a Lot of Open software which converts PLC language to 'C'. My Question is how to convert that C code in .Hex file without Using MPLAB X . or is there any method of procedure by which we can Invoke XC 16 Compiler for compiling and generation .HEX File.</p>
  
  <p>a Internet Search reveals there is an SDK for Mplab but that just help to Burn .Hex file in to the Chip. Nothing about converting 'c' to .Hex </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion or Link to an Api, Dll etc will be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
