What Are the Configuration Bits? They are a collection of special bits that can only be modified at program time. Configuration bits are “read” during reset and enable or disable hardware features in the microcontroller. The features controlled by the configuration...

How to Enable the PICKit or ICD to Supply Power to Your Target Device – In MPLAB By default – when you are using the PICKit or other ICD – the power target circuit from device is disabled. This can be good, if you already are powering the circuit with an external...

Lets make things a little easier on ourselves by defining a standard header file for our PIC10F322 Projects. I named the file 10F322_deviceconfig.h and place it into my XC8 project directory. To use it, I add it to the headers in my XC8 project and include – #include...

The PIC10F322 has 4 general purpose I/O Pins. RA0, RA1, RA2, RA3 – That is assuming you are not using any other peripherals connected to the device and MCLR is disabled. All 4 I/O pins are on the same port – A The registers we need to modify to get a pin into output...

TRISA register controls the direction of a pin or an entire port. Think of it this way, setting a bit in the register as a 0 – think output. Setting a bit as a 1 – think input. After a power on or reset – the Pins are set to Input mode. To make pin RA0, an output we...
