Can we control PIC16F877 microcontroller using LabVIEW

[Alexander J.]

In order to control the PIC16F877, we need to write assembly or C code to program the controller. Is there any way to control PIC controller using LabVIEW.Or any good suggestion. I am a poly student (second year) and I have to do my final year project using pic microcontroller. My experience with labVIEW is just only three month and I still need to learn and now I am interested to control PIC microcontroller using labview. If there is no existing VI that can control PIC microcontroller, I am interested to write the driver VI for pic microcontroller. If It is no way or something funny with my question, pleas forgive me. I want to learn new things. If it is possible, I want to make a team and want to work together and
I need a leader.

Interestingly, you are the second person in 24 hours to ask about this same controller. Yes, it is possible to write to this chip. The only thing is that you will need to implement an RS232 interface for the chip as it only has TTL level IO.

Do a Google search for "PIC16F877" and you'll find a bunch of stuff online from manuals to app notes to how-to articles.

Should be a neat project, let us know how it turns out.
