PIC Microcontroller MikroC Tutorials.
MikroC is the best compiler for beginners as it provides a lot of built in libraries. A beginner can do projects without knowing more about hardware.

Interfacing GLCD with PIC Microcontroller

I have already posted about Interfacing character LCD with PIC Microcontrollers. By using GLCD (Graphical LCD) we can present information in a better and user friendly way by using any patterns or shapes. Graphical LCDs are preferred where both character and graphical representation are required. Compared to Character LCD, GLCD is a bit complex and we need a powerful graphic library. MikroC PRO for PIC Microcontrollers provides powerful built in libraries for...
