how to change preferences to let arduino save files

The dialog box will ask to the name of the C-file has to be mentioned. To do this simply right click on the source file and select New -> C Main File, as shown in the image below. To start the programming we need to add a C Main file, inside our Source file directory.

The left most window will show the project name i.e Blink_LED, click on it so that we can view all the directories inside it. X, which can be directly launched by MAPLB-X. Project will be saved as a folder with the Extension. Type Name our project and select the location where you want to save project. In Next page need to select the compiler, select the XC8 Compiler and click next. So select PIC16F877A from the select device dropdown section and then Click on Next. Now we have to select PIC controller for the project. You will get the following POP-UP, from which you have to select category Microchip embedded and Standalone Project and click Next. Open the MPLAB-X IDE with double click from your desktop menu that you installed in the previous tutorial.Ĭlick on Files -> New Project. While doing the programming for pic controller its always good to keep PIC16F877A datasheet and XC8 Compiler manual as we need to refer many components while programming the controller. So lets start with our simple program to Blink the LED using PIC microcontroller and simulation with Proteus. If not please refer my previous tutorial for MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler installation. I believe your system is ready with MPLAB-XIDE and XC8 compiler. There is a tool like Proteus will always helpful to simulate your programmed code with your PIC controller with actual circuit you want execute.

For all beginner I will suggest don’t rush to buy PIC controller hardware until you learn and understand basic PIC microcontroller programming. In upcoming tutorial we will also see the simulation of program with actual hardware. Also I have install Proteus simulator to simulate the circuit with program. Hope your system is ready now with software. To getting start with PIC controller programming we need install MPLAB X IDE software and XC8 compiler on our system.
