CARLETON PROJECTS

This is the Carleton Weather Station, at least the computer end of it.  The data acquisition  system is to the left and the web server is the Mac computer.  It is located in Olin 206. This is the Carleton Weather Station’s data acquisition system.  This replaced a 1995 Mac and some daq boards.  This daq […]

Serial communication with Matlab

Overview Matlab has a “serial” function that allows it to communicate through a serial port. This project is to establish serial port connection with the PIC microcontroller and demonstrate bidirectional communication between the PIC and a Matlab program. For demonstration purposes, the PIC will send digital potentiometer readings to Matlab as well as receive keystrokes

Setting up the PIC Microcontroller

Setting up the PIC Microcontroller

The following programs are examples that I use for teaching the programming of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. A good reference is the book “Designing Embedded Systems with PIC microcontrollers: Principles and Applications” by Tim Wilmshurst. The datasheet for the PIC is also a good reference for information on the bits for each memory address register in
