In this chapter we are going to learn about the MPLABX, an industrial integrated development environment (IDE) from Microchip. We will learn what an IDE is and how to create a project with MPLABX. We will also learn about the configuration bits for programmable interrupt controller (PIC) micros. Finally, we will learn about header files: why we use them and how to create one in MPLABX.

An IDE is actually a collection of the different programs needed to write program ...
