PIC 18 is a family of microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology. PIC devices are popular with both industrial developers and hobbyists due to their low cost, wide availability, large user base, extensive collection of application notes, availability of low cost or free development tools, serial programming, and re-programmable Flash-memory capability.
For this course you will need a computer software for development known as MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler.
The course aims at teaching the various concepts of embedded systems and Peripheral Interface Controller. The course covers the basic simulations on MPLABx software. The course also covers various aspects of programming and focuses over advanced interfaces like Analog and Serial interface with PIC18 using the software.
