This document provides an overview of using PIC microcontrollers for experiments. It discusses selecting a PIC microcontroller device, the circuit used, and development tools including compilers, programmers, and debuggers. It also covers various aspects of programming PIC microcontrollers in C, including digital I/O, interrupts, timers, analog to digital conversion, and inserting assembly code. Specific programming techniques are demonstrated through examples generating digital waveforms and counting events.
