For programming PIC microcontrollers we require a piece of hardware that can communicate between the computer and the microcontroller known as a programmer. There are several programmers available out there but we will be using PICkit3 for this example due to its versatility. One important note before we start, Read more…
Programming a microcontroller is not as difficult as it sounds to most people when they’re just starting out with microcontrollers. In fact, with proper hardware and a few connections, you can easily burn your code and then lay back and watch your microcontroller execute what you desire(obviously not everything Read more…
Computers essentially understand machine codes which are long binary sequences of 0 and 1. For every unique operation, there is a unique sequence of 0s and 1s which makes the processor perform the required operation. As a programmer, writing code in machine language is very tedious and you wouldn’t Read more…
