2.0. Loading .hex File into the Program
For programming the microcontroller, it is necessary to write a program in the appropriate compiler rst. The program is compiled
then and a .hex le used for programming the microcontroller is generated. Prior to loading the .hex le into the program, select family
and type of the microcontroller to be programmed. Use the MCU Family option to select the microcontroller family. By clicking on this
option, a drop-down list with available microcontroller families will appear. Select the microcontroller type you want from the drop-
down list that appears by clicking on the MCU option. Load the .hex le into the mikroProg Suite for PIC program by clicking on the
Load button. The .hex le can also be loaded via the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+O or the Load HEX option from the File menu. By right
clicking on any part of the main window, an extra window including different options will appear. One of them is the Load HEX option.
An alternative way of loading a .hex le is by dragging and dropping it on any portion of the program’s main window.

microcontrollers belonging to PIC16F family
After connecting the hardware programmer/development system, the program automatically
recognizes which microcontroller families are supported by the connected device. When
the connection is established, choose the family and type of the microcontroller to be
programmed.
By pressing the Ctrl and O keys at the same time, an option for .hex le loading becomes
available on the screen.
The mikroProg Suite for PIC program enables you to load the .hex le by simply dragging
and dropping it on any portion of the program’s main window (drag and drop).
