1. Introduction to mikroBasic PRO for PIC®
mikroBasic PRO for PIC® organizes applications into projects consisting of a single project file (file with the .mbppi extension) and one or more source files(files with the .mbas extension). The mikroBasic PRO for PIC® compiler allows you to manage several projects at a time. Source files can be compiled only if they are part of the project. A project file contains: • Project name and optional description; • Target device in use; • Device clock; • List of the project source files; • Binary files (*.mcl); and • Other files. In this reference guide, wewill create a new project, write code, compile it and test the results. The purpose of this project is to make microcontroller PORTB LEDs blink, which will be easy to test. 01 06 02

2. Hardware Connection
Let’s make a simple“Hello world” example for the selected microcontroller. First thing embedded programmers usually write is a simple LED blinking program. So, let’s do that in a few simple lines of Basic code. LED blinking is just turning ON and OFF LEDs that are connected to desired PORT pins. In order to see the example in action, it is necessary to connect the target microcontroller according to schematicsshown on Figure 2-1. In the project we are about to write, we will use only PORTB, so you should connect the LEDs to PORTB only.
