This post provides an example code to use PIC12F675 GPIO pins as inputs. After going through this example, you will understand how to make PIC12F675 pins as inputs and how to read their value in the code. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler.You can download this code from the āDownloadsā section at the bottom of this page.
It is assumed that you know how to blink an LED with PIC12F675 microcontroller. If you donāt then please readĀ this pageĀ first, before proceeding with this article.
Following figure shows the circuit used to demonstrate how to get input in PIC12F675 micro-controller.
In this figure, PIC12F675 is running using internal clock of 4MHz[1]. GP0 pin is being used as the input pin. When the push button is in the pushed state then, GP0 pin is high, otherwise GP0 pin is low. Whenever GP0 pin is high, then GP5 pin (Attached with the LED) is also made high just to indicate correct reading of GP0 pin status in the micro-controller.
Code
The code for reading the status of GP0 pin is shown below.
