Class Reference TLS 2101 ( 2 days) :
Introduction to the C Programming Language for Embedded Control Engineers
This 2 days class provides an introduction to the C programming language (as specified by the ANSI C89 standard) in the context of embedded systems.
We will cover the C language from the ground up from a non-hardware specific point of view in order to focus on the various elements of the C language itself.
While not required, previous experience with any programming language or experience with microcontrollers would be helpful.
The presentation will be accompanied by a series of hands-on exercises designed to reinforce the fundamentals, all of which will be conducted within MPLAB X using the 16 bit C compiler and Simulator.
Skills learned in this class will be applicable to any ANSI C compiler.
Hardware and compiler specific details such as interrupts, memory models and optimization will NOT be discussed. These topics will be covered in the compiler specific classes.
Class Reference TLS 0101 ( ½ day ) :
Getting Started with Microchip Development Tools (MPLAB X)
This class provides an introduction to Microchip development tools. Following an introduction to all Microchip tools, hands-on exercises are conducted using the MPLAB X IDE, the MPLAB SIM simulator and the MPLAB-ICD3 or REAL ICE
. Attendees go through a step-by-step creation of a project, editing and compiling a program, running a program and using the simulator. The debugger is then used to connect the microcontroller to the PC hardware in order to program an actual device and run a program. Debug capabilities are introduced and debugging basics are described – how to set a breakpoint, etc. Debugging will be performed either with Proteus simulator plugin or with hardware tools (ICD3, Real-Ice & the Explorer-16 demoboard)
Class Reference : MCU 1101 ( ½ day ) :
Getting Started with Mid-Range Microcontroller Family Architecture and Instruction Set
This class covers the fundamentals of the Mid-Range microcontroller family’s architecture and instruction set. Topics covered include the programmer’s model, data and program memory organization, clocking structures, assembly language and special features of the devices. Basic concepts are reinforced through the writing of simple C / assembly language programs. This process involves the use of the simulator to simulate and debug the programs. Ultimately, a PIC16 microcontroller is programmed using the MPLAB ICD 3 on a PICDEM
2 Plus demonstration board.
Class Reference : MCU 1121 ( 1 day ) :
Microchip Mid-Range PIC MCU Peripherals
This class covers the configuration and usage of the Mid-Range microcontroller family peripherals including timers, A/D converters, UARTs, comparators, PWMs and more. Interrupt structures and interrupt service routine handling are also covered. Attendees go through multiple hands-on exercises and learn how to program Mid-Range devices. Labs are offered in C or assembly
.
Attendees will get a 20% discount coupon valid on all Microchip tools (HW & SW)
