PIC MCU TUTORIALS #1 – MPLABX IDE Installing, Uninstalling & Backing Up Projects (Absolute Beginner)

45.7K views on YouTube

This is the start of my series on teaching PIC microcontrollers. I plan on releasing videos aimed at someone who has only heard of or has an idea of what microcontrollers are and wants to get started on programming somewhere. Most videos I’ve seen out there require at least decent prior knowledge and/or skip over the idea behind some of their codes. I plan on explaining everything with the assumption of little to no prior knowledge on the viewers side as well as the knowledge needed to move on afterward, even without the tutorials, through reading datasheets and understanding the workings of microcontrollers.
