This chapter covers the following main topics:

• A standard approach to writing a program

• How to create a source file within a project

• How to use the header file into source file

• How to set up different types of oscillators

• How PIC communicates with the outside world using PORTS

• How to use TRIS registers to set the PORTS

• The main aspects of a ‘C’ program
