Week 7 (Final Semester)

Title: Burn the program into PIC

Objective:

• To download the PIC program to PIC microcontroller
• To master the step

Content:

Step to download the PIC program to PIC microcontroller

1.    Connect PIC programmer to computer via serial port / USB port.

2.    Insert PIC into the programmer socket

3.   Copy ‘Winpic800’ folder to Desktop.

4.    Look for Winpic800.exe in the folder.

 5. Double click Winpic800.exe to start the program.

6. Select the proper PIC name in the top right combo box

7.   Open the .hex file which you want to download into PIC e.g. if your .c filename is ‘abc.c’,    suppose you need to download ‘abc.hex’ into PIC.

Analysis:

For this project there are two PIC need to be burn. Even they are different PIC, the way to download the program on it still the same. 

Conclusion:

The step of downloading the PIC program to PIC microcontroller must be follow, or it will lead to another problem such as PIC dysfunction or even broken PIC. So, it must be done with care.
