familiarise yourself with pic-c and create a base program for the
16f877. If you put it all on your laptop we can program the pic in

Research the pwm's we have (will they work ? how ?)
Research other pwm's
You could also create a pwm on a breadboard in the lab, everything is
there to make a astable multivibrator, it would take maybe a hour ?
then we could test it on our motors !
