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 ...

#pragma config FOSC = HS // Oscillator Selection bits (RC oscillator) #pragma config WDTE = OFF // Watchdog Timer Enable bit (WDT disabled) #pragma config PWRTE = OFF // Power-up Timer Enable bit ...

When working on a project, plenty of us will reach for an Atmel microcontroller because of the widespread prevalence of the Arduino platform. A few hackers would opt for a bit more modern part like an ...

A lot of people disparage PIC microcontrollers but—as I now know to my cost—these little rascals have an addictive quality about them. They can make life incredibly easy with respect to prototyping ...

Microchip Technology's Production Programming Service enables all Microchip customers, regardless of their order size, to have their application code programmed into their PIC microcontrollers prior ...

This article explains how to program a Microchip PIC microcontroller on a Macintosh running OSX. The programmer hardware that is used is a Wisp628 by Van Ooijen Technische Informatica. The software ...

I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...

In Part 1 of this soon-to-be-legendary mini-mega-series, I made mention of the fact that—a couple of years ago as I pen these words—I foolishly agreed to take over the maintenance of a company’s ...
