Next, you will need to select the device for your project. For this demonstration I will use
PIC16F877A as the device. After selecting the device, click Next.
Now, the step two, you need to select the compiler for your project. For your information, thereare quite a number of C compiler available for PIC16F and PIC18F. If you read the Install
MPLAB IDE page, you will found out that at the end of the installation, the installer will prompt
out a HI-TECH C (PIC 10/12/16) installer. That HI-TECH C compiler is the compiler that we
will use as the compiler for PIC16F877A. So, please make sure that you do follow the instruction
The project that you create, will be open after you successfully create it, and this is what you will
see at the IDE, a Project window and an Output window. If you don’t have these window on
your IDE, you can always enable it back by clicking View and check the Project and Output.
For me, I don’t like how all the windows shown on the IDE. I will make all these window“Dockable”. To do so, right click on the top right cornel of the window, and select Dockable.
Then you will need to arrange those “Dockable” window nicely according to how you like it.
