  • Programming-8Bit-PIC
    Foreword Embedded microcontrollers are everywhere today. In the average household you will find them far beyond the obvious places like cell phones, calculators, and MP3 players. Hardly any new appliance arrives in the home without at least one controller and, most likely, there will be several—one microcontroller for the user interface (buttons and display), another to control the motor, and perhaps even an overall system manager. This applies whether the appliance in question is a washing machine, garage door opener, curling iron, or toothbrush. If the product uses a rechargeable battery, modern high density battery chemistries require intelligent chargers. A decade ago, there were significant barriers to learning how to use microcontrollers. The cheapest programmer was about a hundred dollars and application development required both erasable windowed parts—which cost about ten times the price of the one time programmable (OTP) version—and a UV Eraser to erase the windowed part. Debugging tools were the realm of professionals alone. Now most microcontrollers use Flash-based program memory that is electrically erasable. This means the device can be reprogrammed in the circuit—no UV eraser required and no special packages needed for development. The total cost to get started today is about twenty-five dollars which buys a PICkit™ 2 Starter Kit, providing programming and debugging for many Microchip Technology Inc. MCUs. Microchip Technology has always offered a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) including an assembler and a simulator. It has never been less expensive to get started with embedded microcontrollers than it is today. While MPLAB® includes the assembler for free, assembly code is more cumbersome to write, in the first place, and also more difficult to maintain.

  • Experience of Teaching the Pic Microcontrollers
    Session 1520 EXPERIENCE OF TEACHING THE PIC MICROCONTROLLERS Han-Way Huang, Shu-Jen Chen Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota/ DeVry University, Tinley Park, Illinois Abstract This paper reports our experience in teaching the Microchip 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. The 8-bit Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller has been taught extensively in our introductory microprocessor courses and used in many student design projects in the last twelve years. However, the microcontroller market place has changed considerably in the recent years. Motorola stopped new development for the 68HC11 and introduced the 8- bit 68HC908 and the 16-bit HCS12 with the hope that customers will migrate their low- end and high-end applications of the 68HC11 to these microcontrollers, respectively. On the other hand, 8-bit microcontrollers from other vendors also gain significant market share in the last few years. The Microchip 8-bit microcontrollers are among the most popular microcontrollers in use today. In addition to the SPI, USART, timer functions, and A/D converter available in the 68HC11 [6], the PIC microcontrollers from Microchip also provide peripheral functions such as CAN, I2C, and PWM. The controller-area- network (CAN) has been widely used in automotive and process control applications. The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) has been widely used in interfacing peripheral chips to the microcontroller whereas the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) function has been used extensively in motor control. After considering the change in microcontrollers and the technology evolution, we decided to teach the Microchip 8-bit microcontrollers. 1 Several major issues need to be addressed before a new microcontroller can be taught: textbook, demo boards, and development software and hardware tools.

  • MPLAB Snap In-Circuit Debugger Information Sheet
    MPLAB® SNAP IN-CIRCUIT DEBUGGER MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger Information Sheet INTRODUCTION The MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger (PG164100) is an ultra-low priced debugging solution for projects not requiring high-voltage programming or advanced debug features. Therefore, it supports many of Microchip’s newer MCU offerings but not some legacy products. With a nominal feature set, the debugger is geared toward developers who don’t require advanced features. It is not intended for production programming. Note: Refer to the MPLAB® PICkit™ 4 In-Circuit Debugger and the MPLAB X IDE User’s Guides or online help for additional information. • Description • Features • MPLAB Snap In-Circuit Debugger Components • Additional Items Needed • MPLAB Snap vs. MPLAB PICkit 4 Comparison • Pinout Information • LEDs • Debugger to Target Communication • Debugger Options Selection • Troubleshooting DESCRIPTION The MPLAB Snap In-Circuit Debugger allows fast and easy debugging and programming using the powerful graphical user interface of MPLAB X IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or MPLAB IPE (Integrated Programming Environment). The debugger works with Microchip PIC®, dsPIC® Flash, AVR®, or DSC® devices. It will also work with 32-bit based microcontroller, such as SAM, CEC and PIC32 devices. The MPLAB Snap connects to the computer using a high-speed 2.0 USB interface and connects to the target via a Microchip debug 8-pin Single In-Line (SIL) connector. The SIL connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™). The MPLAB Snap supports advanced interfaces such as 4-wire JTAG and Serial Wire Debug with streaming Data Gateway, while being backward compatible for demo boards, headers and target systems using 2-wire JTAG and ICSP.

While there were many options to continue previous projects or complete a project based on the OOPic Microcontroller, we wanted something different. Given this we chose to create a control module for a set of robotic arms made by Baden-Baden that were purchased by the school many years ago. With very little online and physical documentation for the arms, we were certain this was going to be a challenge. 1.1 Vision Our vision for this project is to create a fully programmable control module with the ability to monitor feedback from the motors to calculate the position of the arm in space.

  • Flowcode 7 Installed
    Getting Started Guide Getting Started Guide Introduction Flowcode is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programming microcontrollers such as 8, 16 and 32bit PIC, Arduino and ARM devices. It achieves this by using flowcharts instead of text based languages, thus making programming simpler and faster. Flowcode also contains hundreds of pre-made component libraries, allowing users to interface with a host of sensors, inputs and outputs and electro-mechanical components with ease. Despite its simplicity and ease of use, Flowcode is a powerful tool allowing users to develop even the most complex of embedded systems. Flowcode supports both Matrix and 3rd party hardware. In this guide we will create examples based on three different sets of hardware; 1. Matrix EB006 multi-programmer and EB083 development board 2. Arduino Uno and Matrix EB083 development board 3. Microchip Xpress development board Prerequisites • A Windows based PC with a copy of Flowcode 7 installed Should haves for this guide • Supported hardware – a list covered in this guide is provided above • USB cable to both power and program the microcontroller of choice What we’ll cover in this guide? This guide will be split into two main sections: In section 1 we will provide an overview of the Flowcode IDE. How users interact with the environment, add components to the simulation panel and create flowcharts. In section 2 we will run through three examples which will increase in complexity and teach you how to create microcontroller programs. Copyright © 2016 Matrix Technology Solutions Ltd. 2 Getting Started Guide Section 1: The Flowcode IDE In this section we will provide an overview of Flowcode, detailing the programming interface and how users interact with it to create microcontroller programs.
