Smallest and cheapest microcontroller - tutorial

SUBSCRIBE HERE:

I will try to show you how to use and program PIC10f200. This thing is realy small, only 3 mm long. It is also very cheap, you can find it on Internet for around 30 cents.
I am working hard to make quality content every week, feel free to check my channel and subscribe!

We will program this microcontroler using this pickit3 programer, i bought mine on ebay and it was around 11 dollars.

This device is realy small so we will need to use these adapter PCB board to use pic10f200 on breadboard. Adapter boards are very cheap, i payed 1 dollar for 10 of them on ebay.

Thanks for mention PIC Microcontrollers since very few people talk about it .

amazing soldering skills. I couldnt have soldered that without a hot air station

[AtlasReburdened]

It's the smallest I've seen, but the cheapest is an 8 pin that uses PROM for program storage and comes in at $0.03USD for single units. You're right about it being a pain though.

@3:40 I wouldn't recommend that you solder pins or boards while plugged into the experimental plastic sockets, this is because those plastic sockets are susceptible to heat and may melt or bend causing electrical disconnect, or intermittent disconnect. This will cause circuit operation problem. Instead use stand alone IC chip sockets or aluminum tweezers to hold those SMD pads and parts while soldering them.

Always love your simple no fuss videos - THANKS

You always show cool stuff i never heard about! This channel is awesome 😃

[DigitalYojimbo]

you should look into CH551 chips so cheap like $0.06/each and so much more power than the pic10f200

[NicksStuff]

Have you seen there are open source tools to program the chinese $ 0.03 MCUs now?

[paradiselost]

now this would be fun to try efi with. done it on a 12f683.
AD may be a problem. maybe a comparator and CR time constants...

only need map and crank signal, easy!

[GregWoodsLancs]

It still amazes me how that power setting is so vital, yet so difficult to find. Terrible UI design from Microchip!

[ubist]

Really nice video! Very clear and well done. Thanks!

I'm trying to fix a simple coffee filter machine . It's crazy . It has an 8 bit microcontroller inside. It's buzzer goes off and both lights come on display. Not sure if mc has failed or just one of the input pi s is getting an error.

Perfect, I'm looking at the same pic for a very similar use on a motorcycle.

[john_hind]

Roll on a couple of years and there is the improved PIC10F32x. But STILL no serial peripheral! This really frustrates me about the 6 and 8 pin PICs and AVRs! Surely the obvious use case is intelligent peripherals: putting a single sensor or actuator onto a serial bus? Yes I know you can bit-bang a serial peripheral, but that is hard work, consumes a lot of the already limited resources and will not be as power-efficient. This use case is so obvious it really baffles me that Microchip keeps missing it!

[gartmorn]

How about a video on making up programs for this chip? I think it's a bit trickier than Arduino? I have still to be brave enough to try the pic! There are probably already programs on the internet to try I suppose?

[ihtsarl]

Thank you for this tutorial very good explanation.

[fifaham]

Job well done, keep doing more great projects.

[Algator]

Can you get them mounted on the adapter board? I don't know if I could solder anything that tiny.

[johnnybegood]

I have an HT48R32-B-0 microcontroller in my hi fi audio amp and need a programmer to copy it to blank one so I can fix my other amplifier. i have the original chip so i just need to copy the info from one to the other . What exactly do i need?

Like, holy FUCKING shit. That spec of DUST is a computer!
