The tutorials assume a foundational understanding of programming and electronics. If you’re new to programming, it’s advisable to grasp the basics of C or C++. Additionally, a basic knowledge of electronics and constructing simple circuits is recommended. Most of this information was gathered from the PIC MCU Compiler reference manual, supplemented by input from other […]
1. Introduction 1.1 Problem and Solution In the realm of engineering prototyping, the breadboard stands as the primary choice for initial hardware testing. However, as the size of the prototyped system expands, such as in the case of a 4-bit calculator akin to the implementation in ECE385 for Lab 3, the process of debugging becomes […]
Sales Pitch Feeling overwhelmed by choices? Who isn’t? Decision-making can be a maze. White, rye, or wheat? Pinstripes or polka dots? Feast or fast? But fret not—assistance is at hand! Enter the world’s inaugural, handheld, portable decision-maker, fueled by genuinely random numbers. While my competitors offer decision-makers for 1, 5, 10, or 25 cents, can […]
Getting Ready Let’s initiate by conducting a basic test to ensure the accurate manufacturing of your PCB – checking for any potential short circuits between the power and ground rails. Employ the bench digital multimeter to assess the resistance between Vcc and GND. Follow the “Measure Resistance” protocol provided in the inLab, and probe the […]
