Microcontroller PIC16F877A is one of the PICmicro Family microcontrollers which is popular at this moment, start from beginner until all professionals. Because very easy to use PIC16F877A and use FLASH memory technology so that can be write-erase until thousand times. The superiority this Risc Microcontroller compared to with another microcontroller 8-bit especially at a speed of and his code compression.

The 16F877A is a capable microcontroller that can do many tasks because it has a large enough programming memory (large in terms of sensor and control projects) of 8k words and 368 Bytes of RAM. This is enough to do many different projects.
