Programming PIC Microcontroller

To program the PIC microcontroller you will need an IDE (Integrated Development Environment, a compiler, and an IPE (Integrated Programming Environment).

IDE: MPLABX v3.35

IPE: MPLAB IPE v3.35

Compiler: XC8

Microchip has given all these three software for free. They can be downloaded directly from their official page.
