As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...

The ISPICR1 adapter enables in-circuit programming of a variety of PIC microcontrollers. The adapter interfaces between the ZIF socket of an existing programmer and the target board. The unit includes ...

Many PIC processors require 5-V power while being programmed, yet battery-powered systems may contain low-voltage devices that will be damaged at voltages above their maximum voltage ratings. In ...

We’ve been living a life of luxury, writing our microcontroller code in a text editor and using — of all things — a compiler to turn it into something the chip can use. [Dan Amlund Thomsen] shows us a ...

Arguably, Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers do not get enough posts here. One of the drawbacks for some of us is that Linux support for PICs is not very well known. The information is out there, but no ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...

A lot of people disparage PIC microcontrollers but—as I now know to my cost—these little rascals have an addictive quality about them. They can make life incredibly easy with respect to prototyping ...
