Your First PIC Program
Now that the pic has been successfully connected to the host computer, we're going to take a look at the program that we will be programming onto the PIC. It is simple and uses functionality inherint of the Olimex P-40 Dev Board.
The code below is our first program. It turns Bit 0 of PORTA off and on every 0.3 seconds.
« End Code »
The best thing to do is copy the code above into a notepad document and Save as... main.c
This file will be used later when we want to compile & program the PIC with this code.
Olimex P-40 Development Board
Below is the schematic of the Development Board used in this tutorial. I altered it a little to draw attention to where the LED is connected. Notice it is connected to Bit 0 of PORTA, aka RA0.

Purpose & Description: This program turns Bit 0 of PORTA
off and on (0 and 1, 0v and 5v) at 0.3 Second intervals.
For this specific Development Board it will turn the LED
off and on.
