We just posted a new tutorial called Programming PIC Microcontrollers with C. It’s designed to get you started programming using MPLAB and CCS C Compiler. The only hardware you need to get started is the PicKit2 or PicKit3 which comes with a demo board. The demo board contains 8 LEDs, 1 Potentiometer, and a Pushbutton […] Read more
Learning to program microcontrollers seems like an impossible task but with the help and support of a Hackerspace you’ll find that it’s actually simple to get started. The members of Harford Hackerspace set out to learn by starting at the basics and gradually taking on more difficult applications. The key to our quick success was group […] Read more

What began with just some simple LED illumination evolved and progressed throughout the evening. In the end we had individually, but collectively, written programs for interpreting analog inputs, displaying binary values, and performing counting and reset operations. The evening […] Read more
