Getting start with PIC microcontrollers

Getting started with PICs

The Microchips "PIC" family of microcontrollers are a good choice of microcontrollers to start studying microcontroller basics. PIC MCUs are not too difficult for a beginner to learn, but are generously feature packed be useful in real world applications. Using one PIC microcontroller, we can easily bulid logic circuit which is very hard to built only using logic gates.

For example we can create very beautiful LED light designs using PIC flashed with simple program.

This section is an introduction tutorial that helps you with the foundations necessary to begin developing your own projects on PICs. If you've already got this far, I mean you had already worked with PIC MCUs, then you might find other sections of this site is useful for more advanced stuff.

To start with PIC microcontrollers first you need basic electronics knowledge and then you need to have following.

A PIC Programmer/Flasher
Software used with PIC Microcontrollers
PIC Microcontroller chip (PIC18F4520)
Breadboard and jumper wires for bread board
Power Supplies for Microcontroller based projects
Other electronic components.
