Intro to Hi-Tech C III
Finally, we’re going to get through the end of the basics of Hi-Tech C and Hi-Tide. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a hex file you can load onto your PIC that will turn on an LED. It should be noted that all of this is [...]
Seven Segment LED – Schematic
With the most basic pieces of the software covered, you should feel comfortable with the idea of doing a simple project. I’ll only be using parts from the libraries supplied with EAGLE in order to keep the focus on the schematic and board themselves, though we will cover creating [...]
Now that the program is on the computer and ready to go, we can get to the interesting parts. In this brief tutorial, we’ll get you started on making a project and figuring out where to put your code.
Creating a Project
To start out, you need a project. The project [...]
EAGLE (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor) is a PCB design tool with a freely available Light version. While there are restrictions on the use and limitations on the capabilities of the freeware version, it provides students and hobbyists with a great tool at no cost. In the coming weeks and months, articles posted [...]
The History
Most people don’t really thrill at the idea of writing huge amounts of code in assembly, or, if you’re normal, any amount of code in assembly. Well, this can cause some problems if you want to use a 10-17 series PIC. Basically, MPLab doesn’t support C for anything less than an 18 series [...]
