Simple tutorials...

 If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is then worth of a million words!

I made these tutorials using the PIC16F887 demo board. But it is not only applicable to the demo board or PIC16f887 in particular. Please watch the entire videos. It also shows some tools that are included in mikroC and shows you some examples how to use it.

I have done these tutorials in a hurray because the PIC16F887 board that I used which is the only one left is used for another project.
And unfortunately the digital camera that I am using in these videos was damaged (due to lens error) and I don't know when am I going to have a new one.

But anyways I hope you will enjoy and will learn some things on these tutorials.



1) A tutorial showing how to connect the demo board to the PC or laptop. It also shows you how to find out the com port used by the demo board so that the mikro bootloader GUI is setup with the correct com port. If the correct comport as well as baud rate,etc.. is used and is matched, the demo board and the mikro bootloader can then communicate.

2) Another tutorial showing you how to make a project in mikroC as well as how to initialize the ports of the demo board (PORTA, PORTB, etc...) and configure it to input or output accordingly.. It also shows how to embed an image to a mikroC project to which is very useful. For example you can embed a circuit diagram so that you could peek on the circuit diagram while you are writing your codes.

3) An important tutorial showing you how to use the mikro bootloader. Bootloading is very easy and straight forward. After compiling the codes or if you already have a hex file, it is then a couple of clicks away to upload it to the PIC16F887 microcontroller, These makes these demo board very easy to use as well as very fast to try your newly made codes.

4) A very simple video showing a hello world program as well as a blinking project. It also shows a complete process from compiling the codes up to bootloading as well as resetting the demo board through software.

5) Another simple tutorial showing you how to use button switches or basically inputs.
It also shows you an example how to use the auto complete feature of MikroC. It allow you to make shortcuts when writing codes in MikroC.

6) Yet another simple tutorial that shows you how to use another tool in MikroC, the 7 segment editor. It will allow you to display on 7 segments with just a couple of clicks!.

7) And finally a UART example showing how to test a communication from the demo board to a PC/laptop or vice versa using the MikroC USART terminal.
