PIC is the prefix of the single-chip series product model produced by Microchip Company. The hardware system design of the PIC series microcontroller is simple, and the instruction system is designed and refined. In all single-chip varieties, it is best to learn, the most easily applied single-chip variety. For beginners of the microcontroller, if the PIC microcontroller is selected as the "breakthrough" that attacks the MCU, it will be the easiest shortcut, and the effect will be obtained.
The above paragraph comes from the "PIC single-chip practical tutorial - basics", this textbook is my second brother to recommend it to me, I am very grateful here, it is this book leading to me. The hardware system of the PIC series single-chip microcomputer is very easy to learn, and since it is based on RISC technology, there is only 35 instructions in the area, it is easy to learn, memory and memory. In contrast, there are 111 instructions in the instruction system of the MCS-51 single-chip microcomputer. The introduction of this book is mainly for Microchip's mid-range 8-bit single-chip PIC16F877, which has on-chip EEPROM data memory and Flash program memory, which enables online debugging and online programming (in -Circuit serial programming is the most needed for beginners of the majority of microcontrollers. With Microchip's economical online modulator (MPLAB-ICD) developed for the PIC16F87X series microcontroller, you can easily burn your programs and modifications during your learning program.
