Microcontroller Programming in Assembly Language PART 3

In the previous two articles we discuss about how to create a MPLAB project and understood some basic features and instruction available in a PIC16F84A microcontroller. In this article I basically focus on how to write ‘if-then’ logic in assembly.  Below a sample program code is provided which uses simple ‘if-then’ logic. This will give you some idea about how to use it in microcontroller Programming.

1. Beginner guide to Microcontroller Programing

The following link is a tutorial series on the 14-bit core PIC family made by Microchip. It covers common PICs like 16F84, 16F628, 16F87x etc…It tells you nearly everything about its architectures like program code bus and data bus and many other aspects like Reset, Oscillators etc. It is much easier to learn while someone is talking to you via diagram and animated drawings. At this moment, the following areas are covered: Architecture, Instruction Set, Development Tools Overview, Device Configuration, Resets and Oscillator Read more

Structure of a parallel port

In here I basically focused on using the parallel port to output data. For that I used Data outputs in the port. We can output a maximum of 8 bit data using a 25 pin parallel port.

Pin arrangement

Microcontroller programming for beginners with 16f84a

Anyone interest in electronics they would like to know about MCU s. These days new technology goes long distance away from PIC. But major thing is MCUs still use for many electronic components. With basic knowledge of programming and about electronics anyone make big projects with MCU s. Using PIC ICs can make small LED circuit and also can make complex robots.

We will consider about the major requirements. First thing is we have to choose suitable PIC ic . If we have enough knowledge to use PIC IC s then we should select suitable IC for our project or circuit. For an example we will think we are going to make DC motor control circuit then we should choose PIC IC s with have PWM facility. If you can’t understand about this PWM or what ever the things I finally mentioned don’t worry about that because I will give brief introduction from my continuous posts.
