How to program a PIC microchip?
Is it worth to learn PIC programming in 2023? I think so. There are numerous fun projects that you can do with it. Ranging from Blinking LED project to Retro Hardware mods. This video shows you how to start programming in MPLAB X and XC8 compilers. This project uses a K-150 Programmer to upload the HEX file onto the PIC chip.

    Thank you very much for this video. I have an issue with this panel. Top half of the board displays only green and blue. It is displaying red. However it works sometimes. I am using esp32 with GpxMatrix library. Exept for the red not showing clearly every thing works nicely. On checking I found the one of wires in the strip connector was open. I changed it. It worked for sometime randomly. Even the orange color I had given shows as green ( because of red not working properly). Can you tell which component on the board could be checked or why this is happening ? . Dc voltage is 5.2 volt from a 2 amp supply. Does the A, B,C,D pins has got anything to do with lower half and upper half ? Lowever half works nicely showing all the defined colors. Thank you

    I miss my Mega ST2. The motherboard on mine looked like the one you picked up for a spare. Where the RAM chips are is an outline of where more chips could go.

I got the monochrome monitor as I used mine for Desktop Publishing with PageStream.

    Just a comment about the UK mains plug fuse. It's not there because we have 30A ring circuits - each circuit has a breaker - but to protect the device mains cable in case of a short inside the powered device. Many device cables, including in the EU, will melt and/or catch fire, or at least get very hot at currents allowed by the circuit breaker. The fuse should be rated appropriately for the device in question, regardless of the current rating of the supply circuit to which it is connected.

    RA4 GPIO of PortA is an open drain port so, can LED's be interfaced to other PortA pins (which are stated as CMOS) in current sink or current source methods? Also can an Switch be interfaced to RA4 with an 10k resistor pulled up to Vcc and switch connected to ground to read an active low signal when the switch is pressed?
