The code for this how-to is a kind of hello world program using LEDs. The code for this is hosted on Github, you can follow along with the blink.c file for the PIC16F887, PIC16F688, or PIC12F675.

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is equipped with an LED that can be controlled by a program, so we will actually write an LED blinking program to the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and make it blink.

He’s actually crafting the operation codes for a PIC microcontroller by hand. We’re glad he’s explained this in-depth because right now we feel way over our heads.
