Good day, everyone!
I recently started playing around with programming PICs in MPLAB IDE. I have written a couple of very simple programs in Assembly that flash LEDs in specific patterns, but I would like to be able to do more than that. I just bought a PICkit2 and a couple of PIC18F1330s and downloaded the C18 compiler from the Microchip website. So, here's my question: What should I do next? I would like to learn C, but I have yet to find a full C tutorial for an 18F uC. I am also somewhat clueless as to the circuitry needed to program the chip, namely the oscillator, power supply, etc. I know that the PICkit2 is capable of ICSP, which I plan to use, and I would like to have the target chip on my solderless breadboard so that I can do some prototyping. So, can anyone point me toward a good C tutorial and some basic setup circuits for my uC?
I thank you for any help in advance. I appreciate it.
Best regards,
Der Strom
