Objective:
The goal of this lab is to learn to program and simulate microcontroller-based
circuits for specific tasks.
Principle:
Microcontrollers are electronic circuits that can be programmed to perform a
wide variety of tasks. There are many families of microcontroller units (i.e.,
MCUs) available in the market, and the two most popular among these are AVR
and PIC (Programmable Interface Controllers). Both the MCU families are
manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. The following figure shows the
input/ output pins of the IC.

In this experiment, you will learn how to program and simulate the PIC16F690
MCU for simple tasks. This is an 8-bit microcontroller. We are going to see the
use of basic input and output using push button and LED and also learn to write
codes to program the microcontroller. For the code, we are going to use
MPLAB X IDE software with XC8 compiler.
Equipment:
1. PIC16F690 Microcontroller.
2. Resistors
3. Green LEDs.
4. Push-button.
5. Ground.
6. Software: MPLAB IDE, Proteus 8.15

Discussion:

In this lab experiment we learnt to program the PIC16F690 microcontroller. In

task-1 We have built a system where if a button is pressed 4 LEDs start to blink
sequentially and if another button is pressed the blinking stops. The second
button should be pressed until a complete cycle of sequential blinking is
completed. Complete a full cycle of sequential blinking and stop blinking when
the 2nd switch is pressed. In task-2 we have built a system a system where total
of 8 LEDs blink in pairs with 1 second delay. It works properly, the simulation
correctly solves the problem in the code.
