2.      Insert PIC used which is PIC16F877a into the programmer socket.

3.      Copy ‘Winpic800’ folder from programmer CD into Desktop.

4.      Look for Winpic800.exe in the folder.

5.      Double click Winpic800.exe to start the program.

6.      Select proper PIC name in the top right combo box.

7.     Open the .hex file which is needed to download into PIC. 

8.   Lastly, go to ‘Device’ -> ‘Program All’ to start download program into your PIC.

Conclusion:
The program coding of project is now inside the PIC. The PIC can be connected to PCB board and can be tested. The same procedure is repeated when I have problem during testing the program.
