This is the usual introduction to a different pic, this time we will start to show you some examples with the PIC16F873 microcontroller, you can find out more about this micro from Microchip but to summarise its a 28 pin sdip package with 5 10 bit ADC channels, 2 x 8 bit timers , 1 x 16 bit timer and various other functionality.
We’ll start with the usual flash led’s on and off, since we used the QL200 development board to verify this PIC was supported, we switched on/off 8 LEDs connected to PORTB
Lets look at the schematic

All resistors were 470 ohms

Code
This time I decided to write an example using MIkroC and Mplab X with the XC8 compiler, I like to play around like this. So 2 code examples
mikroc
[codesyntax lang=”c”]
void main()
{
TRISB = 0x00;
do {
PORTB = 0xFF;
Delay_ms(300);
PORTB = 0x00;
Delay_ms(300);
} while(1);
} // end main

while(1)
{
PORTB = 0xFF; // LED ON
__delay_ms(1000); // 1 Second Delay
PORTB = 0x00; // LED OFF
__delay_ms(1000); // 1 Second Delay

return 0;
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
