Now, before we open our MPLAB-X and start programming, there are few basic things that one has to be aware of. It is always a good practise to read the complete Datasheet of any MCU before we actually start programming with it. I recommend everyone to download the PIC16F877A Datasheet and the XC8 Compiler manual, as we will be referring to these frequently as we progress through our tutorial. Since we have decided to use the PIC16F877A, with the XC8 compiler let us get started with their datasheet. If not, please bounce back to the previous tutorial and get started from there. This tutorial expects that you have installed the required software on your Computer and you know some decent basics about the PIC MCU. We will also learn about Configuration Registers in this tutorial. Now we are ready to get started with our First LED blinking Program using the PIC16F877A. In our previous tutorial Getting started with PIC Microcontroller: Introduction to PIC and MPLABX, we learnt the basic stuff about our PIC microcontroller, we also installed the required software and purchased a new PicKit 3 programmer which we will be soon using. This is the second tutorial of our PIC Tutorial Series.
