In the previous chapter, we looked at the internals of PIC microcontrollers and briefly discussed what features are available for us to develop our applications with them. When looking at the block diagram, one of the things we saw was the ports. As was described, the ports are registers that give us access to the pins of the microcontroller. The ports on the PIC16F devices can be used for input or output and can provide access to the many peripherals onboard the microcontroller. ...
