Digital Output Lab

1. Download todays files and launch MPLAB (see screencast) 2. Type your program into the *.c file in MPLAB a. Make sure to fill in your own information in the comment at the top of the file 3. Compile your program a. Fix any typos, if needed 4. Program your chip a. Find out what your program does b. In your programs header comment, type a one-sentence description of your programs effects.

5. Copy your program into the chart below, with one line in every row.
Program statement #include <htc.h> void main() { ANSEL = 0; ANSELH = 0; PORTB = 0; TRISB = 0b11110000; RB0 = 1; RB1 = 1; RB2 = 1; RB3 = 1; while(1==1); } Explain in English what this means Why does it have to be here?

6. Work with the person on your left to fill in the chart below. Their name: _______________________________________________
List all the differences between their program and yours (make a new row in the table for each difference) What effect does this have, and why?
