PIC10F200 Lab 3 - The "Hello World" of Embedded Systems: Blinking an LED

Thank you, I'm learning a lot, I still don't have the microcontroller and the pickit3 physically, but I'm following the series with the proteus simulator and it works very well for me, very clever way of delay

Great! I’m glad it’s working for you. I hope everything goes smoothly when your microcontroller and pickit comes. It’s fun to control things at such a low level. Good luck with your studies!

Very impressed! learned more in this video than i have ever done before! Appreciated and thank you :), Of course i do have a question.... :) If I wanted to program an external device only once, i.e. done in the main: only, will I then just need to do a simple nop in mainloop: so to keep the pic active? The external device only needs to be prgrammed once. Peter

I'm glad you found this useful, Peter. I'm not completely sure I'm interpreting your question correctly but here are a couple of things. You certainly can streamline the program. In fact you don't need mainloop. For a simple program with no function calls (like delay) then you could just have main. You would need a goto main at the end to keep the program running. Generally, one never has the program terminate on the microcontrollers. So something like nop and goto main would be just about the simplest program. Of course, it wouldn't do anything.
