Microchip has upped the security of a family of PIC18 microcontrollers by adding a one-time disable to its programming and debugging interface. Called PDID (programming and debugging interface disable ...

Once more dreaming of making things, I started to puzzle over finding small connectors to allow in-circuit programming (ICSP S=serial) of a PIC as well as to allow a couple of push-buttons to be ...

As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...
