Objective:
 Familiarization with I/O ports programming
 Introduction to delay routines and timing issues
 Implementing LED flasher counters.

Equipment:
 PIC 16F877A microcontroller
 Computer
 Proteus Software
 MPLAB X IDE Software

Introduction:
There are a total of 5 ports in the PIC 16F877A microcontroller which are named
PORT A, B, C, D and E. In this lab we will program the ports to run several
programs onto it. Firstly, we will program delay routines and implement the LED
flasher counter and secondly, we will implement it with 2 switches which will be
used to increment and decrement the counting. The detailed pinout diagram of the
microcontroller is shown below which shows the ports and the power pins.
Programming the ports of a microcontroller such as the PIC16F877A using
assembly language provides a deep understanding of embedded systems and low-
level hardware interactions. In this introduction, we'll look into the basics of
programming the ports of the PIC16F877A microcontroller, which involves
configuring the Input/Output (I/O) ports to interact with external devices.

The PIC16F877A is a widely used 8-bit microcontroller. Understanding how to


program its ports in assembly language enables us to control various external
devices and interface with sensors, actuators, and other components in embedded
systems.

To begin programming the ports of the PIC16F877A, one must familiarize


themselves with its architecture and register set. Each port of the microcontroller,
such as PORTA, PORTB, PORTC, etc., is associated with specific registers
responsible for controlling its behavior. These registers include TRISA, TRISB,
TRISC for configuring the direction of the ports as input or output, and
corresponding port registers to read from or write to the ports.
The process of programming the ports typically involves the following steps:
 Configuring the direction of the ports: Use the TRIS registers to set whether
each pin of the port is configured as input (logic 1) or output (logic 0).
 Writing data to output ports: To send data to external devices connected to
output ports, write the desired value to the corresponding port register (e.g.,
PORTA, PORTB, PORTC).
 Reading data from input ports: To read data from sensors or other external
devices connected to input ports, read the value from the corresponding port
register.

Assembly language provides direct access to the microcontroller's registers and


allows precise control over hardware interactions. Developers can write efficient
and optimized code tailored to specific requirements, making assembly language
programming essential for embedded systems.

circuit on the ports of the microcontroller. We also connected 2 switches to the
ports of the microcontroller to count up and down.
