This is great, i was afraid it would be another incomprehensible Indian video but then I heard the soothing ZA accent. Great video and information too. You look like a great discovery
You are doing a great job! I had a question about pic16F685, how to know if the program memory space is protected and if it is not protected how to read the program memory
23:59 Clicking the read memory button will also update the configuration bits view. Found in the same place as here 10:09 . You can also click the device read at the top of the ide (the green up arrow). If the flash read bits are set then the PIC will refuse to read. Datasheet section 14.7. You can unset the bit by flashing the chip but this will erase the protected sector as well.
The icon won't show in simulation mode. It only show when you have a programmer like the pickit3 or pickit4 selected as the tool. If you are in simulation mode. Close Program Memory view. Compile your program. Open Program Memory view again. The memory view will then be refreshed. The simulator is not great for testing flash memory reads and writes.
