3.2.2
The first lesson showed how to turn on a LED, this lesson shows how to make it blink.
While this might seem a trivial change from Lesson 1, it gives a context to explore
several more instructions.
New Instructions
EXAMPLE 3-2:
While adding a BCF instruction and making it loop will make it blink. It will blink so fast
you won’t see it, it will only look dim. That loop requires 4 instruction times to execute.
The first instruction turns it on. The second one turns it off. The GOTO takes two instruc-
tion times, which means it will be on for 25% of the time.
As configured, the PIC
this rate, the blinking needs to be slowed down so that the blinking can be seen, which
can be done by using a delay loop.

Counting cycles – Relating clock speed to instruction speed. The processor
requires 4 clocks to execute an instruction. Since the internal oscillator as
used in these lessons runs at 4 MHz, the instruction rate is 1 MHz.
