Summary of PICsim – PIC microcontroller simulator
The article describes PICsim, a real-time emulator for PIC microcontrollers like PIC16F628, 16F877A, and 18F452, including peripherals such as USART and timers. It supports easy integration of external components using C language, making it useful for testing and simulation in electronic design automation (EDA) and computer-aided instruction (CAI). PICsim operates under the GNU GPLv2 license.
Parts used in the PICsim microcontroller simulator project:
- PIC16F628 microcontroller
- PIC16F877A microcontroller
- PIC18F452 microcontroller
- USART peripheral
- Timers peripheral
