  • 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.

  • Getting Started with STK200 Dragon Introduction This Guide Is Designed to Get You up and Running with Main Software and Hardware
    Getting Started with STK200 Dragon Introduction This guide is designed to get you up and running with main software and hardware. As you work through it, there could be lots of details you do not understand, but these are covered in books and other documentation that you can read later. The main software package is AVRStudio, which is Atmel’s Integrated Development Environment or IDE. There is also a plugin C Compiler module called WinAVR that compiles C programs within AVRStudio. The Kanda installer will install these packages and copy documentation to a folder on your hard drive. Default install path is C:\Program Files\STK200 Dragon AVRStudio has its own Atmel-AVR Tools folder in Program Files, and can be run from there or you can run from desktop icon. WinAVR never needs to be run directly, only from AVRStudio. The AVRStudio IDE is designed for writing source code, in C (.c files) or assembler (.asm files). These are then built or compiled into object code (.hex files) for programming into the AVR using ISP or debug files (.elf files) to step through the code. The AVR Dragon hardware is a programmer and In Circuit Emulator (ICE) in one tool. Once source code is built, it can be programmed into the AVR using ISP, which will just run the code or it can be set in Debug mode (using DebugWire or JTAG )that allows you to examine the code operation to find bugs. There are two Debug methods depending on the AVR device you are using • JTAG Mode for AVR devices with 40-pins or more • DebugWire for smaller pin-count devices.

  • 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® C18 C COMPILER GETTING STARTED © 2005 Microchip Technology Inc. DS51295F Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices: • Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet. • Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions. • There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property. • Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code. • Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.” Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products.

For a long time, designers used discrete components to build first analogue and then digital systems. The main components for many years were: resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors and so on. The primary concern of the designer was functionality however, once functionality has been met, the designer’s goal is then to enhance per- formance.
