Note that you can remove the switches and add LEDs to those pins as well. X1 can be either two 20pf capacitors with a 10 MHz oscillator or a single resonator (as explained below).

Power Regulator
78L05 is a very common regulator used to provide power to sensitive electronic devices like microcontrollers.

Resonator
This is denoted as X1 in the circuit. You can use a 10-MHz resonator instead of oscillator and 2 capacitors. A Resonator is a combined unit of ceramic vibrator and capacitors.

Some of the patters you can make can be illustrated below. You can use either C or ASM to write routines for this micro.

You can use the Multi PIC programmer to program this device. Also see tutorial How to start with Microcontrollers to get an idea of the software tools required.

Hope this quick tutorial will give you a simple idea.

Hi All ,

some notes on above circuit diagram

(1) Here LED's have connected as current sink devices, That mean current flow into the micro controller. So
remember when you give signals from micro controller , to light up each LED , make the output pin LOW.
that mean when you want to ON the LED , make relevant output pin of MCU LOW. ( Not High as usual)

(2) You can increase the number LED's which can light up, with few micro controller pins from a method called multiplexing.

Bottom 5 lines are Cathodes. ( that mean we have to ground them)

If you look on the above 5 seventh segment displays , if you control them using normal way , we want 36 I/O pins in a micro controller. ( each Segment unit contain 7 LED's , so 7*5 + common ground = 36 )
But if we connect them as in the above diagram , we want only 12 I/O pins.

Here trick is you have to switch between segments , in some bit high frequency for display some thing in all 5 segments.
As Human eye can not identify the changes , which occur above 20 Hz , if you do this switching with a frequency larger than 20 Hz , you may display the content in segments ,even they do not have power.

Can any one give a code for this diagram?????????

Hey, the fun part of Microcontrollers is programming mostly with ASM (though C is easier). After you make your hardware design by using your electronic skills (you can get advises from professionals like Magneto for this), the most fun part is to do programming. In my case, I'm mostly interested when there is a mathematics part involved

So please do not ask for codes. Firmware development is my everyday job so personally I don't have time to write codes for anybody. Magneto will not as well. You need to write your own code. However, you can ask questions that arise when you are coding.

We find time very hardly to write these tips since we believe we need to do something for young people like you. Please don't expect things to be done by us for you

I wrote a simple code for above given Circuit Diagram.

Looks correct to me.
Try it on the Proteus or actual micro and confirm the code so others will benefit too.

I tested this on Proteus before posting here. it worked correctly.
