PIC16 series programming

[Roelescence]

Can PIC series be programmed through USB?
How to interface?
Pls. help, I am new to microcontrollers

 

[Tahmid]

Yes they can be programmed through USB. But, for that, you need USB programmer, like PICKIT2, PICKIT3, etc.

 

[Roelescence]

do we need a driver for the kit?
By the way I am trying to apply PIC to IR sensor circuits, coul it be posible? Any recommendations?

 

[Tahmid]

Yes, you can interface the PIC to IR sensor. Follow a standard protocol such as RC5 or SIRC. Make sure you are using the same protocol as the transmitter.

Yes, you need a driver for the PICKIT2. You get the driver along with the PICKIT2, or you can download it from the internet.
For any programmer (even other than PICKIT2), you will need a driver. It should come with the programmer.

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.

I will download a schematic diagram, would you please help me interpret the circuit?

Can we use PIC to control the operating time interval between two dc motors? Like for example, I would like motor A to keep rotating for 3 sec and upon stopping for that programmed time the motor B starts for 5 sec. Please tell me if it's posible in PIC micro so that I will continue to the next chapter of my tutorial.
Thank you

Yes, it is certainly possible.

Study your chapter on Timers and Interrupts.
