With the tiny microcontroller PIC12F1822 we can read raw data (sectors) stored in the SD card. The SD card can work in SPI mode which makes our interfacing more better since the PIC12F1822 MCU has a built-in SPI module (MSSP module). This post shows how to interface the SD card with the PIC12F1822 microcontroller in […]

PicKit2 is a programmer designed by Microchip to program its pic microcontrollers. PicKit2 supports many 8-bit pic microcontroller series. PicKit2 supports almost all Pic-10/12/16/18/24 and dspic-30/33 flash series microcontroller’s. Pickit 2 is an ICSP (In-circuit serial programmer) programmer. In icsp interface, microcontroller can be programmed while its working in the circuit. An icsp programmer uses 5
