Introduction:
Interfacing an LED (Light Emitting Diode) with a PIC microcontroller is a common and
straightforward task. We can use a digital output pin of the PIC microcontroller to control the
LED. I mention the procedure on how i interface an LED with a PIC microcontroller.

Components Needed:
PC
Software (Proteus 8, MPLABX IDE 5.20v)

Procedure:
1. First step is to open the “Proteus” software then make a new project.

Figure 1

2. Then go to “component mode” and search for “pic18f458” and past it on Editing
Window.
 Figure 2

3. Then again go to the component mode and search for “LED” and past it on the Editing
Window.

Figure 3

4. Then select the “generator mode” and select the “SINE” to get the sine wave and set 5 v
to operate the led and connect it on pin1 of IC.
 Figure 4 Figure 5

5. Then connect the led anode with pin 33 and cathode with the ground.

Figure 6

6. Now open the MPLABX then make new file then write the code to oprate led on pin 33.
7. Ten run it. The code automatically generate hex file.
 Figure 7

8. Now again open the Proteus.

9. Then select the pic18 and right click on the pic18 and click “ Edit Properties” then select
the hex file created in MPLABX.

Figure 8 Figure 9
 10. Now run the “Editing Window” then we have the following results.
