Resources

The Lab 8 exercises were written for a PIC16F1937 processor with switchs connected to Port A and an LCD Display connected to Port B.

Matrix E-blocks users
The Lab 1 exercises require an EB007 Switch board connected to Port A and an EB005 LCD Display board connected to Port B.
An example layout is shown opposite.
