Microcontroller / Embedded Systems

Microcontrollers and Embedded Systems - 16 Series

This page consists of how I program microcontrollers, background on the processes involved and just some of my projects. I will try to aim the start of these projects to people with little or no knowledge of programming or microcontrollers, a basic understanding of electronics would be helpful. The code I will be using is Assembly language as it's about the lowest level programming you will ever use, machine code is the lowest level but a little too cryptic to follow.

Note 2021 : The MPLAB assembly is no longer the standard as shown in these projects, while the code may still apply to some systems it can now be considered obsolete. I have upgraded to C language as that is standard and compatible with several platforms. I shall not be updating the contents of any of these pages ever again, but will keep them as records.
