IntroductionBy now, you should be familiar with the workings of the 68HC12 and how it can be used to performcomputations and interface to peripheral devices. Although the 68HC12 is a popular microcontrollerused in many industry, research, and hobbyist projects, it is important to learn about how othermicrocontrollers work to get a general understanding of how […]

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
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

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

The bootloader is used to install programs on the PIC32 without using an external programmer like an ICD2 and does not require any drivers on the computer. The PC software for the bootloader for the PC has already been installed with the Microchip Applications Library. Software PIC Source Code For each new program, you will need

Overview This guide provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the MPLAB X software by Microchip to set up aproject, write code and generate a programming file for the PIC microcontroller. It then explains how toprogram the PIC (in this case a PIC18F25K22) using the SuperPRO programmer and the file generatedfrom MPLAB X. Procedure

Introduction I have been using Microchip’s PIC range of microcontroller for my projects since 1993, and have done all my programming in assembler language, using the Microchip MPLab IDE. My projects ranged from simple traffic lights and flashing LEDs, to USB joystick interfaces for R/C models, and switchgear analisers used in industry. Development took many
