After finishing testing the circuit, then we proceed with the programming the microcontroller. Before setting up the program, we have installed three main softwares to be used for programming the microcontroller. The softwares used are PIC C Compiler, Proteus 7 Professional and PICkit 2 v2.
PIC C Compiler – used for writing or creating the program
Proteus 7 Professional (ISIS) – used for designing the schematic diagram and simulate the circuit based on the program created. ISIS is the schematic capture and interactive simulation software used to create the circuit drawing and to test the circuit prior to building the real hardware.
PICkit 2 v2 – Import the hex file from the program created and transfer it to the microcontroller. So this software enables the microcontroller write the program with connecting of the USB interface.
The PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer Kit contains the following items:
1. The PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer
2. USB cable
