6.16 Circuit built on solderless breadboard

Wink
Apply power to the circuit. The LEDs connected to the chip will
alternately turn on and off. Wink…wink…. Now you know how easy
it is to program these microcontrollers and get them up and running.

As you gain experience, using the compiler and programmer will
become second nature. You won’t even consider them as steps
anymore. The real challenge will be in writing the best PICBASIC
programs possible. And that is as it should be.

Troubleshooting the circuit

There is not too much that can go wrong here. If the LEDs don’t
light up, the first thing I would check is the orientation of the
LEDs. If they are put in backwards, they will not light.
