Introduction
Welcome to MICRO’s. I know you are itching to get started with your new
software and begin programming PICs as soon as possible, so this introduction
will get you familiar with the MICRO’s suite of software and during the process
you will also start writing some small programs and hopefully get them working in
the real world.
If you have the MICRO’s Experimenters Kit, then going through the projects will
be quite easy. If you do not have the Experimenters Kit, then you may like to get
a PIC programmer so that you can program the software into a 16F84 chip to
complete the projects.
Before we get going, you have to understand that a PIC, or any other
microcontroller chip for that matter, is just a piece of silicon wrapped in plastic
with pins sticking out to connect it to the outside world. It does not have any
brains, nor can it think for itself, so anything the chip does is the direct result of
our intelligence and imagination. Sometimes you may get the feeling that these
things are alive and are put here to torment your every waking minute, but this is
usually due to bugs in your software, not a personality inside the chip. So please
remember:
The PIC will always do what you tell it to, not necessarily what you want it to.
One other thing that can cause problems is in the way you handle the chip itself.
Your body is more than likely charged with Static Electricity and is usually the
zap you feel when you touch a metal object after walking on nylon carpet or
similar. The PIC’s most definitely do not like this high voltage discharging into
them. It can destroy the functionality of the chip either totally or partially, so
always try to avoid touching the pins with your fingers.
The PIC 16F84 data sheet is available in PDF format on the CD ROM in the
Acrobat directory.
