PIC source codes by PE1RRT
Over time Marc, PE1RRT, has designed and build numerous circuits based on the PIC micro controller from Microchip. For most of these designs he also wrote the software for the controlers as well. A number of his designs have been published in magazines, such as Electron (a VERON publication). If you want to program PIC micro controllers yourself, the source codes below may well serve as a good starting point.

Good luck,
Marc, PE1RRT

Driving an LCD display with just 3 wires
I most designs, as LCD display will be driven by the micro controller through some kind of parallel bus. This means that at least 8 lines are needed (plus strobe) to drive the display. PIC controllers do have 8 lines available, but you might want to reserve some lines for other purposes.

In this publication from January 2001, the use of the MPLAB development environment is dicussed. MPLAB allows you to develop software and program PIC contollers. A simple program is described that allows you to flash a LED.
