Description

Hello Guys,

Welcome to learning microcontrollers.

This course is about learning some basic programming techniques in MikroC for PIC. They are not only limited to mikroC any compiler which uses C++ like STM32CubeIDE or arduino IDE etc will have exacyly same coding technique. So you learn here you learn for everywhere.
This Course has 2 sections as under:

Introductory lectures.

Lecture 1: Downloading and installing MikroC for PIC.

Lecture 2: Why PIC16F877A ?

Lecture 3: Setting up PIC16F877A.

Lecture 4: Download and install PICKIT 3 programmer tool.

Coding techniques lectures.

Lecture 5: Using break; command in MikroC for PIC. Hardware demo using PIC16F877A.

Lecture 6: Loops within loops programming on MikroC for PIC using PIC16F877A MCU.

Lecture 7: How to use do-while loop in MikroC. PIC16F877A for hardware demo.

Lecture 8: Shifting bit using bitwise operators in MikroC. Hardware demo.

Lecture 9: How to use For loop in MikroC. PIC16F877A for hardware demo.

Lecture 10: Tutorial on how to use if-else and else if condition for PIC16F877A MCU.

Lecture 11: Tutorial on how to use AND and OR gate in MikroC for PIC using PIC16F877A MCU.

Introductory section will get you started. And after that we will start from break statement and then move onto some complex techniques like using AND and OR gates.

Coding files and ressources are in the desicription or for complex codes attached as hex and c files as downloadables.

Who this course is for:

Electronic students, electronic hobbyist and anyone with an intrest of making projects using microcontrollers.
