=Introduction=

==Overview:==
This manual is designed to help embedded programmers and students, rapidly exploit the Pic(16f877A)-Controller for embedded applications. This manual has been targeted at embedded systems programmers and Students who have basic knowledge of Pic(16f877A/PIC18f) architecture and C-Language.

This manual provides the reference to all the library functions which are grouped under respective .c file. 
The .c files convention is as per the peripherals. The peripherals (lcd, keypad..) are connected 
to default PORTs which can be connect to required  PORTs by changing the #define..

==Reference:==
It is recommended to go through the below reference documents and datasheets before interfacing any peripherals.
#The Pic Microcontroller and Embedded Systems by Muhammad Ali Mazidi.
#Pic16f877A DataSheet.
#Embedded C  by Michael J Pont .
#Any of the 16x2 lcd datasheet.
#RTC-DS1307 from Dallas Semiconductors.
