The independent studies research with Dr. Karl Gugel during the fall semester of 2010 involved experimenting with built-in and separate Ethernet controller devices. The goal of this project was to determine the necessary components needed to be able to interface the various ethernet controllers with numerous microcontroller devices. Dr. Gugel essentially wanted to be able […]
Abstract Understanding the use of microcontrollers is fundamental in both Electrical and ComputerEngineering undergraduate programs. Our school replaced our microprocessor class withmicrocontroller class in year 2010 due to the fast growing popularity of microcontrollers. In thefirst two years of offering this class, a more traditional “lectures plus weekly Lab” model wasused. Students received background knowledge […]
2.1. Introduction Peripheral Interface Controllers (PICs), developed and marketed by Microchip Technology, Inc. [35], are inexpensive microcontroller units that include a central processing unit andperipherals such as memory, timers, and input/output (I/O) functions on an integrated circuit (IC). There are more than 100 varieties of PIC microcontrollers available, each providingfunctionality for different types of applications […]
IntroductionThis lab introduces basic C language programs and equivalent PIC24 assembly language programs. The tasks inthis lab are:• Implement programming tasks using the C language.• Implement equivalent programs using the PIC24 assembly language.This lab requires you to capture portions of the screen. The lab computers use the Windows operating system.This includes the “Snipping Tool” that […]

As part of our final project for ECE 4760: Digital Systems Design Using Microcontrollers, we built a guitar amplifier with remote distortion and digital effects capabilities controlled from a smartphone via bluetooth. Musicians often need to modify the configuration of their amplifiers when performing in concerts. This job is generally delegated to “roadies” who walk […]
This guide introduces C programming with emphasis on the PIC C compiler. It assumesfamiliarity with another high-level programming language such as Java. Parts of thistutorial are adapted from Nathaniel Pinckney’s C Microtoys tutorial. More information isavailable in the Microchip MPLAB C18 C Compiler manuals. Using the MPLAB C Compiler You must configure MPLAB with the […]
Fast Facts: NYU Abu Dhabi researchers have developed a microchip that can isolate T cells, in a systematic and precise manner. T cells are a type of white blood cell that is important to the immune system and is at the core of immunity, the system that tailors the body’s immune response to specific pathogens […]
To meet soaring demand for lightning-quick mobile technology, each year tech giants create faster, more powerful devices with longer-lasting battery power than previous models. A major reason companies like Apple and Samsung can miraculously pull this off year after year is because engineering wizards around the world are designing increasingly power-efficient microchips that still deliver […]
