This guide introduces C programming with emphasis on the PIC C compiler. It assumesfamiliarity with another high-level programming language such as Java. Parts of thistutorial are adapted from Nathaniel Pinckney’s C Microtoys tutorial. More information isavailable in the Microchip MPLAB C18 C Compiler manuals. Using the MPLAB C Compiler You must configure MPLAB with the […]

The bootloader is used to install programs on the PIC32 without using an external programmer like an ICD2 and does not require any drivers on the computer. The PC software for the bootloader for the PC has already been installed with the Microchip Applications Library. Software PIC Source Code For each new program, you will need

Starting to use PIC micro controllers for your projects? they are very useful but very frustrating when your programme just doesn’t work. This is one way to sort out your ideas by drawing a flow chart. This is the way professional programmers often create their masterpieces. Starting with a simple pencil and paper to get

Working with microcontrollers means managing GPIO pins at some point. Many configurations have been developed for modern microcontrollers which can lead to some “fancy” terms that may confuse programmers. Its important to understand all of this to avoid confusion and errors while programming. First, some terms need to be understood. GPIO pins have tri-state logic

The FTDI connector can be found on just about any ESP8266 design. If you are building a gadget to be deployed somewhere and not a full blown development board, the FTDI connector is somewhat overkill. And it is quite large. A few pins could be shaved off but we still have a through hole connector invading

After I got my Arduino I felt the urge to brush up on my general electronics knowledge. The last time I’d really played with any circuits was back in about 1994 when I was studying my Technology GCSE – which now is quite a long time ago. So I picked up a copy of Make:

In Circuit Serial Programming is a method of directly programming a Microchip PIC or Atmel AVR while in they are connected to a circuit, as opposed to programming the chip ahead, and only then soldering it to a circuit. There are many benefits to ICSP, but also some important design considerations which I will try

Following the name change to WinPicProg I’ve now bought the domain name winpicprog.co.uk so all future updates will be under this address, with links from my old pages. I’m happy to try and help with any problems people have, either via email or (preferably) via the new PHPBB support forum, where other users will be
