Here are some increasing difficulty pic application I made to help people
get started with pic programming.
We'll start off with a very simple application to add a little difficulty each
time.
First one (int) has a blinking led and a second led changes state at each interrupt generated by rising edge on button, the delay function is parametric accepting a parameter trough W register
Second one (eeprom) Display content of an EEPROM location on a til311 and increment the content of the EEPROM location at button presses.
What you will need:
A pic 16F84 with some other resistors, capacitors and leds ....
A pic assembler (like gputils)
A pic programming software (like prog84)
A pic programmer (see schematics in prog84)
The schematics of the application is in the test.asm source and are thw same for bothe examples.
Now you need to asemble the source:
# gpasm int.asm
This should produce a test.hex (intel hex 8 binary format), just incase you fail to do this I fave included what I assembled (see helpme.hex).
Now you need to program your pic with the newly created binary file:
# prog84 -x int.hex -a
Now put your pic in your testing circuit and have fun.
