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
