This is informal introduction of the HBBR Basic language, for detailed information please refer to the Reference section of this manual. HBBR Basic is a modern compiled structured dialect of a classical BASIC programming language. It is designed for programming advanced 32 bit microcontrollers with support from comprehensive runtime.
