How do I load a program into microcontroller?
To get the program into its flash memory the microcontroller uses a few pins that are called programming pins. These programming pins are connected to the PC through a device called an external programmer. A software called the programmer uploads the program through the external programmer onto the microcontroller.
What is a PIC programmer?
