Master interrupt-driven programming to create responsive, real-time systems with PIC microcontrollers.
Tired of delays, missed signals, and sluggish microcontroller response?
Then it's time to learn interrupts—the tool that turns basic code into real-time control systems. In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to implement and manage interrupts using PIC microcontrollers, giving your projects instant response and greater efficiency.
Whether you're building a digital counter, sensor alert system, or multitasking automation project, interrupts are the missing link between average and advanced embedded development.
Why This Course is Essential
Interrupts allow your microcontroller to respond to external events instantly, without wasting time polling or running delay loops. This course walks you through exactly how interrupts work in PIC microcontrollers—from theory to implementation—so you can build smarter, more reliable systems.
What You Will Learn
The theory behind interrupts and how they differ from polling
Setting up external interrupts (INT, RB0, etc.) in PIC
Using timers with interrupts for real-time scheduling
Managing priority levels and interrupt vectors
Writing interrupt service routines (ISRs) in embedded C
Combining multiple interrupts in the same project
Avoiding common interrupt pitfalls like race conditions and nesting issues
Debugging and testing interrupt-based systems
Projects You’ll Build
An automatic LED flasher using timer interrupts
A push-button counter with external interrupt triggering
A periodic sensor reading and data logging system
A multi-interrupt temperature monitoring system
Who This Course is For
Microcontroller learners who want to build responsive systems
Engineering students working on real-time or automation projects
Hobbyists wanting to upgrade from delay-based logic
Developers seeking interrupt mastery for embedded job skills
What You Need to Get Started
Basic knowledge of C programming and PIC microcontrollers
A PIC development board (PIC16F877A or similar)
MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler
LEDs, push buttons, resistors, and breadboard setup
