Reference Documentation

Introduction

The PIC is a versatile series of microcontrollers. We use them in lots of projects - they're cheap and get the job done. Check out our introduction to learn more about the basics of developing with PICs.

Sample Code

The best way to learn PIC programming is to work from some sample code.

We've got a growing library of tutorial programs and useful routines, written in our assembly format, on our sample code page.

Assembler Mnemonics

It may seem nutty to re-invent assemblers. We do it to provide consistency across our development environments (which span multiple processors) and because our dev environments are typically more versatile than the “official” ones.

Our PIC assembly syntax is easy to parse (both for computers and people), and uses conventional opcode names rather than Microchip's odd ones. Learn about our PIC mnemonics. Also check out the summary of programming in our assembly language.
