9.2 PROJECT 9.2 – Binary Counting Up LEDs
9.2.1 Project Description
This is a simple project where 8 LEDs are connected to PORT C of a PIC microcontroller. The LEDs count up in binary with a 1 second interval between each count. The pattern displayed by the LEDs will be as shown in Figure 9.11.

9.2.3 Circuit Diagram
The circuit diagram of the project is shown in Figure 9.13. If using the EasyPIC 7 development board, there is no need to change any jumper settings. An 8 MHz crystal is used to provide the clock signal. The microcontroller is Reset, using an external push-button switch.
