Explore a PIC microcontroller based Arduino development board, from schematic design and bootloader basics to installing the IDE, configuring drivers, and uploading blink and other example programs.
Build a PIC18F2550 based Arduino development board with built-in USB for plug-and-play programming in C, and identify essential components like USB type B mount and resistors.
Download and install the pinguino IDE on Windows, selecting language and completing setup. The installer provides Java, libraries, and USB drivers to write, compile, and upload code to your board.
Download and install Proteus, a professional electronic design automation tool, for schematics and PCB layouts. Use the evaluation copy to run sample designs and explore the software interface.
Explore creating and simulating a schematic for a PIC microcontroller based arduino development board, with LEDs, resistors, ground and Vcc connections, USB data lines, ISP header, and breadboard layout.
Download and prepare the bootloader for your PIC microcontroller by selecting the correct bootloader type from GitHub and saving it as a text file ready for burning to the controller.
Burn the bootloader hex file into a microcontroller using the universal programmer 2006 and in-circuit serial programming to load the bootloader text file and program the device.
Connect the board via USB and install the drivers from the course material links. Open Device Manager to verify the board and follow Windows driver guidance if issues arise.
Demonstrate a simple Arduino blink example on a penguin board, using setup and loop functions, digitalWrite for led output, with high and low signals and a delay.
Design and assemble a compact PCB-based Arduino development board using a PIC microcontroller, learn about programming with a dedicated programmer, and burn code directly from the Arduino IDE.

Welcome to this course.
Have you ever wanted to try a code on your PIC Microcontroller but didn't have the programmer? Do you wish to have your own Arduino-like PIC Microcontroller board that you can easily plug via USB and start coding your projects? Are you tired of removing a microcontroller from the board to reprogram it for development, testing, and improving your projects?
The Solution is here: Our Brand New Course
This course will show you, in a step-by-step manner, how to make your very own PIC Microcontroller USB-Enabled Training Board (Just like the Arduino Board).
All you need to do is plug the USB cable and start writing your code to the PIC Microcontroller in no time. See the results without having to remove anything, creating a healthy and helpful testing and development environment of your own creation.
What You Will Learn:
The essentials needed to start your own T-Shirt business.
How to choose the right T-Shirt printing method.
Finding profitable T-Shirt niches.
Strategies to promote and sell your T-Shirts.
Step-by-step guidance on setting up your business.
This guide will help you create a PIC Microcontroller-based Arduino-like board at home, step by step. This tutorial shows you how to build a PIC Microcontroller-compatible board, taking you through each component inside the Arduino board, what it does, and how to wire it up.
