1/25/2014 Fuses for Pic18f4550

Microcontrollers are really awesome , they are everywhere  that's the reason why actually I'm working on a proyect that involves it. The market has a wide range of  manufacturers like Atmel, Microchip, Motorola among others in order to this I've chosen Microchip by his usability and his features between them :
memories(ROM , RAM, EEPROM), Ports, serial IO (input and output) devices, Timers and Interrupt sources, Adc converters, Comparator, Pwm modules and others.


Another thing to say is they are commonly know as PIC microcontrollers PIC or just  PICmicro. They  have a Harvard architecture, and instruction words are unusual sizes. Originally, 12-bit instructions included 5 address bits to specify the memory operand, and 9-bit branch destinations. Later revisions added opcode bits, allowing additional address bits.
Picmicro are divided in family based on the word assembly language instruction, varying from 8 ,16, 32 bits depending on the specific PIC.The family clasification can be found here :

Fuses Pic 18f4550:
This part was taken from the avr tutorials its very well explained:

Fuses are an extremely important part programming a chip, but are rarely explained thoroughly. You only need to set them once, but if you don't do it right, it's a disaster!
What is a fuse?
You know about flash, eeprom and RAM as parts of the chip. What I did not mention is that there are also 3 bytes of permanent (by permanent I mean that they stick around after power goes out, but that you can change them as many times as you'd like) storage called the fuses. The fuses determine how the chip will act, whether it has a bootloader, what speed and voltage it likes to run at, etc. Note that despite being called 'fuses' they are re-settable and dont have anything to do with protection from overpowering (like the fuses in a home). 

As we can read in the quote above they're  necesary for a proper operation , the other thing is that when you're flashing out this chips they have a code protection fuses which if you activate this you won't be able to use the microcontroller again,because you're protecting  a session in rom memory.

Here are the fuses that I've been using this week, remember this is for a pickit 3 proper development , this will work with another programmer that has circuit debuger like icd and others.

just save this code as a fuses.h and include in your main.c  program.
