I have written the program for the microcontroller PIC 16F877 in assembly language. The source code, witch has been compiled in HEX format, can be downloaded and used freely for non commercial purposes. With the link "download" witch you can find at the bottom of this page, you can also obtain the schematics and the preliminary drawing to make the fotolito for the PCB (printed circuit board).

After learning with the PIC 16F84 and 16F628 I decided to carry out the final project with the PIC 16F877. This powerful microcontroller has 8 integrated ADC's (analog to digital converters) , a USART (serial port), and an electrical erasable flash memory of 8 Kbyte, sufficient for several pages of source code. (datasheet at:http://www.microchip.com)

¿Why a microcontrolador from Microchip?

  • In 1999 the Company Microchip Inc. Technology, launched the PIC 16F84. Because of its simplicity and its flash memory, this microcontroller which allows one to electronically write and erase the programme memory thousands of times, quickly became the world-wide choice in microcontrollers for educative use.
  • The chips made by Microchip have excellent backup user information, and the development tools are economical..
  • The assemble and simulation programs can be downloaded for free from Microchip.
  • Thousands of user applications can be found. One good website is: http://www.phanderson.com/ (Embedded Processor Control; Peter H. Anderson).
  • A lot of additional literature and user applications are widely available.
