PIC LAB-1
Extra Pages
All the pages and experiments we have presented for this project show you how to produce routines for the
PIC16F84 microcontroller. With these routines you will be able to create projects to rival almost anything you have seen to date.
We have shown how to design programs with the most efficient instructions (called
machine code) and at a
cost below anything else available
This has broken new ground in getting the absolute beginner to a point where a
software designer has said it would take the average programmer 5 years to produce
programs equal to those we have presented.
I think we have proven them wrong. With our layout and terminology we have
made it "straight sailing" and if you have read to here, you will be
well on the way to producing programs that are "ripe" for the
consumer market.
However, this is the end of the FREE SECTION. It has consisted of more than 100
pages (text-book size) and the next section covers expansion of the
experiments, theory and more-advanced programming techniques, as well as a complete
LIBRARY OF ROUTINES.
The pages that follow are only available to those who buy the PIC LAB-1
kit and/or subscribers of TALKING ELECTRONICS Interactive.
We have always maintained the principle of providing circuits and projects on
the FREE section of this website while the theory and courses are in the
subscription section.
It is very easy to continue with the next section, simply buy a
PIC
LAB-1 kit and/or
subscribe to
TALKING ELECTRONICS Interactive. You will be emailed the address of the following
pages and you can continue with your study.
Here are some of the features of the "Extra Pages." They contain
more than the short description indicates.

The
Library
of Routines
is a very large file. It contains routines for almost every requirement. As
you create a program, simply think of
suitable words for the next operation, go to the Library of Routines and read the comments.
You will then need to download a zip file (Lib-1.zip) and open it in a
separate TEXTPAD program so that the associated lines of code can be copied
and pasted into your program.
Some of the terms include:
Beep, CALL Table, Debounce a Switch, Decrement,
Delay, Increment, Input, Load a File, Loop, Mask, Move, Nested Delay, Output,
Poll, Random Number, SetUp, Stop, Table, Toggle, Tone, TRIS, Zero.
If you are a subscriber to TALKING ELECTRONICS Interactive, you will
already have the link to the index.
