Thank you for these excellent tutorials. They are the best I have found and I have looked and tried a number. These are very thorough and clearly explained.
It's taken me a long time to get this video out - mostly because it was pretty tedious to go back to square one, lighting an LED yet again... Subscribers might wonder why I keep repeating myself, too! Basically the introduction of Microchip's Snap programmer meant that I had to abandon baseline PICs - and realistically they're just too dated, no matter how ideal it still is to start learning with something really simple. And assembly language makes less and less sense. So, basically, I realised I needed to start again, painful as that may be, but now it will be possible to skip ahead much faster and get to some new material...
@@AdrianHiggins83 Yes, the board comes with a set of PICs (7 all up) - see www.gooligum.com.au/train-dev-boards/PIC-train-boards/base-mid-train-assem for details
Anyone know of a good comparison between the free and paid versions of the XC8 compiler? How much smaller/faster is the code produced by the paid version?
"It depends" - but when you use the free version there's an option in MPLAB-X that tells you exactly how much smaller your code would be if compiled with the paid ("Pro") version. In my experience it's usually around 75% of the size, for a non-trivial project, but it really does depend on your specific source code. Also - unless you're making thousands of a product, it's generally much cheaper to simply use a bigger (more memory) PIC than it is to buy the paid compiler.

Do you supply pics with the dev boar and lessons as a kit ?

I saw this list video included this. It is enougth simple to undertand as a base for PIC. I am trying with PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity. Thank
Its good to hear you´re focusing on enhanced mid range pics and the xc8 compiler! Thank you so much for your effort!

I need to do two input and two output with two push button,someone help me a Code C
Sehr gut.
Danke!
