This is awesome, I am an electronics engineering student my self, and it is always nice with a well rounded tutorial to brush up on some stuff.
And might I say, the pickit seems like a nice way to use a microcontroller. Correct me if I’m wrong, but some microcontrollers need so much setup, that it ia almost impossible to do it yourself at home. Nice that there is actually a usable solution, so that we can avoid arduino a bit 😂😊
Thanks for your kind words, Jonas! I agree, the PICkit is not so hard to set up, especially for these 8 bit microcontrollers :)
Good work bro keep going
Thank you, glad you like it! And I have no plans of stopping :) Is there a particular topic you would like to see on this channel?
That was awesome Jens. There were so many great points brought up in this tutorial. It may be long but there was a good deal of information about programming, researching and debugging.
Thank you so much, Jerry! For this project, since there are so many components, a simple walkthrough of the finished code would have swept things a bit too much under the rug. Glad you like it!
Hi There! New to the channel and just subscribed.
Used to do a lot of PIC programming but have been away from it for years (I started with PIC 16F84 and MPASM doing is all in assembly!).
I was thinking of doing a project for a friend (a solar charge controller (for his raeley used truck) and so was trying to get my PIC-memory brains-cells back to a functioning level. I used to use the old MPLAB 8 and the Hi-Tech C but see that they have this new MPLAB-X and XC8; so am looking over your shoulder to see how to use the new GUI. I was puzzled why you use MPE when you can c program through the PICkit3 directly from main MPX?
Anyway, really like you channel and hope to learn more from you... Thanks!
Thanks for your kind words, and welcome back to the world of PIC microcontrollers! Yes, using the built-in programmer would make more sense... except that for some reason it does not run properly on my computer, and there is no reliable connection; the simpler, MPLAB IPE standalone option works just fine, however. So I like to use that one, especially for beginners who just want to flash a ready-made .hex-file it can be a bit simpler to use (for example in the project here with the analog clock, there is no need to compile your own code, and if you just want to build this project as a beginner the MPLAB IPE is easier to use, I find). What do you think?
Thanks again, and have a great rest of your week!
@@FriendlyWire Jens, I sent you an email on your website; did you happen to see it?
@@SpinStar1956 My goodness, no, when did you send it? I will have to check again, my apologies.
