Welcome to the starting line of the PIC Microcontroller Primer. Microchip manufacture a series of microcontrollers called PIC, and this tutorial series will take you from the basic structure of PIC ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here’s another offering when it comes to PIC programming from the Raspberry Pi. The design seeks to adapt the GPIO header so that it may be used for programming PIC microcontrollers, but this does ...

All of Microchip’s baseline PIC microcontrollers have internal 4-MHz oscillators, which are useful for freeing up one or two pins for I/O use and allowing you to build minimal-component-count designs ...

Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) describes how to easily link a USB flash drive to a simple, low cost microcontroller in an embedded design ...
