Introduction to MPLAB-IDE |
This
hands-on class covers the basics of getting started with Microchip
development tools. Following an introduction to all Microchip tools,
hands-on exercises are conducted using the MPLAB IDE and the MPSIM
simulator. Attendees go through a step-by-step creation of a project,
editing and compiling a program, running a program and using the
simulator. The MPLAB ICD 2 is then used to connect to the PC hardware
and to program an actual device and run a program. The MPLAB ICD 2
Debug mode is then introduced and debugging basics are described, how
to set a breakpoint, etc. Hardware used is a PICDEM 2 Plus with a
PIC18F452 device. Attendees leave with a basic knowledge of Microchip
tools. They can use this knowledge to learn more on PIC16, PIC18 and
PIC24 microcontroller or 16-bit family. |

Mid-Range (PIC16) Architecture and Instruction Set |
This
hands-on class covers the fundamentals of the mid-range microcontroller
family architecture and instruction set. Basic concepts are reinforced
through the writing of two simple assembly language programs. The first
program turns on an LED connected to one of the I/O pins and the second
program adds software loops and delay routines to make the LED blink at
a specific rate. This process involves the use of the MPSIM simulator
to simulate and debug the programs. Ultimately, a PIC16F877A
microcontroller is programmed using the MPLAB ICD 2 on a PICDEM 2 Plus
demonstration board. The knowledge gained from this class forms a solid
base from which the attendee can explore more advanced concepts with
the PIC16, PIC18 and PIC24 microcontroller or 16 bit families. Before
attending this class, attendees should have already taken 101 TLS
getting Started with Microchip Tools or have equivalent experience
using the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment to create a project
and assemble code. This class is using a common platform PICDEM 2 Plus
demonstration board with PIC16F877A for hands-on exercises. |

This
hands-on class covers the fundamentals of the PIC18 family architecture
and instruction set. Basic concepts are reinforced through the writing
of simple assembly language programs. Attendees can learn basic
programming in PIC18 and explore how rotating and blinking LEDs in

flow can also be traced during debugging. This process involves the use
of the MPSIM simulator to simulate and debug the programs. Before

taught to write a simple program to light and then blink an LED using
an Explorer 16 development board. The class covers program and data
memory organization, instruction set, addressing modes, clocking
sequence and modes, and Program Space Visibility (PSV). Simple programs
are used to demonstrate these concepts. Hardware used is an Explorer 16
demonstration board. Attendees leave with fundamentals for the PIC24

System Management Workshop |
System
Management architectures monitor system health characteristics such as
temperatures, voltage levels, fan speed, and chassis intrusion. These
applications typically utilize independent I2C devices like real-time
clock calendar chips, serial EEPROM, analog-to-digital converters, and
thermal fan controllers to monitor and log physical health
characteristics. This course teaches, in lectures and demonstration,
how PIC microcontrollers can be used to add value to these applications
in terms of flexibility and cost. The course will revolve around the
PICDEM System Management board which uses the MSSP address mask feature
to implement four I2C devices: a real time clock, serial EEPROM,
analog-to-digital converter, and thermal fan controller in one single
microcontroller. |
