MPLAB® X IDE is used for developing, building, debugging and programming embedded applications across several Microchip device families. For an active firmware project, however, installing the IDE is only one part of putting together a reliable development environment. The compiler, target device, device support files, project configuration and programmer or debugger all need to work […]

INTRODUCTION: In the ever-changing contemporary society, technology is not only progressing rapidly but also becoming increasingly prevalent in our day-to-day existence. The emergence of “intelligent” items is significantly transforming the way we design almost every conceivable product. From shoes integrated with chips that sync with our phones to monitor our physical activity, to refrigerators that

This is a complete tutorial to make a PIC Microcontroller based Arduino. This is a complete tutorial to make PIC microcontroller based Arduino, which can run Arduino programs on PIC18F4550 or PIC18F2550 microcontroller, one advantage on this microcontroller is that it doesn’t require any external programmers, since it has inbuilt USB support. So guys, let’s get started! Step 1: Things

This DIY PIC programmer is a continuation of our PIC programming basics tutorial. By using this USB PIC programmer, you can program microchip PIC series of 10F, 12F, 16F, 18F, 24F, 30F. This is also an EEPROM programmer as it supports 12Cxx EEPROM. The main component of this PIC microcontroller programming circuit is a PIC182550

This is where you start with programming. Build the PIC Programmer MkV and build the World’s Simplest circuit on a PC board for a PIC12F629 chip, LED and resistor. When the World’s Simplest Program is “burnt” into the chip, the LED will flash. This is not a “normal” program as the Watch-Dog Timer has been

A PICBasic program which interrupts the PIC when a high/low transition occurs on pin PortB.0 The code is available for download as a .rar or just copy and paste it from here. I got the starting code from the microengineering website:http://www.melabs.com/resources/samples.htm but I added the register bit definitions and changed a little to make it

Communicating with a micro-controller at runtime, is a very usefulfacility. It can be used for debugging, or to send commands etc. One of the easiest available protocol to communicate is UART. It requires a pin for transmit and a pin for receive, and the GROUND connection. There are many available programs that allow us to
