Summary of PIC Microcontroller Video Tutorial Series
PIC microcontrollers are modified Harvard architecture chips by Microchip, originally from General Instrument. They are popular for low cost, wide availability, and free tools like pic logicator, making them ideal for industrial use, hobbyists, and education.Parts used in the PIC Microcontroller:
- PIC1650
- Flash memory
- Pic logicator software
PIC is a family of modified Harvard architecture microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology, derived from the PIC1650[1][2][3] originally developed by General Instrument's Microelectronics Division. The name PIC initially referred to "Peripheral Interface Controller".[4][5]
PICs are popular with both industrial developers and hobbyists alike due to their low cost, wide availability, large user base, extensive collection of application notes, availability of low cost or free development tools, and serial programming (and re-programming with flash memory) capability. They are also commonly used in educational programming as they often come with the easy to use 'pic logicator' software.
