PICPgm Tutorial PDF

This document provides a tutorial on using PICPgm software to program PIC microcontrollers. It describes how to connect a PIC programmer hardware board to the computer, use the software to detect the programmer and PIC microcontroller, and program a PIC by selecting a .hex file containing code. The software works with Windows 98, XP, and Vista, and can program 16F and 18F series PICs through the programmer board.
