Want to be a good embedded programmer...how??

Hello friends


I want to be a good pic progrmmer in ccs c compiler and can use Proteus software as well... Where to start ?? I think to start from basic examples , i came up with 7segment display and that worked well but am not confident.. if any pdf files or links where i can start from basics??

Plzzz help me out
 

Re: Want to be a good embedded programmer...how??

i think u should work with mikroc compiler ,it is too easy
 

Re: Want to be a good embedded programmer...how??

Do i need to buy the software?? n where do u suggest me to start with??? led ,lcd ,adc??? am just confused with so many things around
 

Re: Want to be a good embedded programmer...how??

if u dont want to buy ,u can use picc which is free for 45 days ,you will get from microchip.com
 

Re: Want to be a good embedded programmer...how??

thanks a lot guys i will give it a try :)
 

Hello friends,


I tried couple of examples in Mikro C compiler and could actually get some output :) ..... but i found that hex file for simple flashing of LED's is around 293 bytes... Will CCS have the same ?? i heard that CCS C takes less memory than other compilers.. is it true??

Please help me guys
 

Hi,
I think you made some error. Are you checking the hex file size in Windows? Or are you checking it in the message box in the mikroC compiler? Can you attach your hex file? There's no way that it can take 293 bytes. CCS, I've heard takes less memory but mikroC is efficient enough and is quite reliable and very easy for beginners as well. I recommend you stay with mikroC and keep on practicing. Follow the help file and all the examples shown there plus the examples provided by mikroElektronika themselves and make various programs and simulate with Proteus and you should be good to go in a very short time.

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.
 
yeah that was in windows and i rechecked the size...do mikro C have a manual like ccs c??? few examples seen on net were a bit confusing... can you please suggest me few links so that i can understand easily??

thanks again
 

In my opinion, if you want to be a good embedded programmer try to do not make use of the built-in functions of the compilers for now. Get the datasheet and configure all the PIC registers manualy and use all the pheripherals manualy (just by using the registers). Thats going to give you a good knowhow. When you feel confortable start usign the built-in functions.
