Assembly is the last phase in making a program which will run on our PICmicro. The installation procedure for the course will also have installed the PICmicro assembler which will generate the binary instructions the PICmicro will actually execute. To assemble a program press the assemble button:

When you press this button the MPASM program runs and you see the image in Fig 1.

Once the program has been assembled you will find that the list output from the assembler has been opened by the compiler: Fig 2.

You can look at this if you like, it is very interesting in that it shows how the C language terms are converted into assembler. However, you don't need to use this window at all if you don't want.

The next thing that you do want to do is get your freshly compiled program sent into your PICmicro.
