The C for 16 Series PICmicro microcontrollers course consists of 2 separate parts - hardware and software. Note that while we have configured most of this course around our own hardware solutions you can use this course with many other PICmicro hardware programmers and development boards.

The C for PICmicros CD ROM actually consists of more than just courseware: as part of the overall package you also get to use the MPBLAB X IDE (Integrated Development Environment), the MPLAB XC8 compiler and linker as well as mLoader to send the program to the device. Note that the C compiler and linker are integrated into the MPLAB X IDE and is used as a complete package.

You may be interested to know that the courseware element of C for 16 Series PICmicro microcontrollers alone consists of over 250 HTML files!

This version of C for 16 Series PICmicro microntrollers is: Version 5.0
