Programming 8-bit PIC Microcontrollers in C : With Interactive Hardware Simulation

PIC Microcontrollers are present in almost every new electronic application that is released from garage door openers to the iPhone. With the proliferation of this product more and more engineers and engineers-to-be (students) need to understand how to design, develop, and build with them. Martin Bates, best-selling author, has provided a step-by-step guide to programming these microcontrollers (MCUs) with the C programming language. With no previous knowledge of C necessary to read this book, it is the perfect for entry into this world for engineers who have not worked with PICs, new professionals, students, and hobbyists. As MCUs become more complex C is the most popular language due to its ability to process advanced processes and multitasking. RTOSs, that is a need to know for engineers, is also discussed as more advanced MCUs require timing and organization of programming and implementation of multitasking. The book includes lots of source code, circuit schematics, and hardware block diagrams. Microchip's PICDEM Mechatronics board is used to detail the examples throughout the book. *Focuses on the C programming language which is by far the most popular for microcontrollers (MCUs)*Features Proteus VSMg the most complete microcontroller simulator on the market, along with CCS PCM C compiler, both are highly compatible with Microchip tools*Extensive downloadable content including fully worked examples Cover Page......Page 1 Foreword......Page 2 Preface......Page 4 Links, Resources, and Acknowledgments......Page 6 About the Author......Page 7 Introduction......Page 8 1.1 PIC16 Microcontrollers......Page 11 1.2 PIC16 MCU Configuration......Page 18 1.3 PIC16 MCU Peripherals......Page 22 1.4 PIC16 Serial Interfaces......Page 28 1.5 PIC16 MPLAB Projects......Page 32 1.6 PIC16 Program and Debug......Page 36 Assignments 1......Page 42 2.1 PIC16 C Getting Started......Page 44 2.2 PIC16 C Program Basics......Page 49 2.3 PIC16 C Data Operations......Page 56 2.4 PIC16 C Sequence Control......Page 65 2.5 PIC16 C Functions and Structure......Page 69 2.6 PIC16 C Input and Output......Page 73 2.7 PIC16 C More Data Types......Page 82 2.8 PIC16 C Compiler Directives......Page 86 2.9 PIC16 C Assembler Routines......Page 95 Assignments 2......Page 105 3.1 PIC16 C Analog Input......Page 107 3.2 PIC16 C Interrupts......Page 112 3.3 PIC16 C Hardware Timers......Page 116 3.4 PIC16 C UART Serial Link......Page 121 3.5 PIC16 C SPI Serial Bus......Page 124 3.6 PIC16 C I2C Serial Bus......Page 126 3.7 PIC16 C Parallel and Serial Interfaces......Page 129 3.8 PIC16 C EEPROM Interface......Page 134 3.9 PIC16 C Analog Output......Page 135 Assignments 3......Page 142 4.1 PICDEM Mechatronics Board Overview......Page 144 4.2 PICDEM Liquid Crystal Display......Page 153 4.3 PICDEM DC Motor Test Programs......Page 159 4.4 PICDEM Stepper Motor Control......Page 163 4.5 PICDEM Analog Sensors......Page 169 4.6 PICDEM Temperature Controller......Page 173 4.7 PICDEM Board Simulation......Page 178 5.1 PIC16 C Application Design......Page 185 5.2 PIC16 C Temperature Controller......Page 188 5.3 PIC16 C Data Logger System......Page 190 5.4 PIC16 C Operating Systems......Page 195 5.5 PIC16 C System Design......Page 201 Assignments 5......Page 207 Design Specification......Page 208 Schematic Circuit......Page 209 Schematic Edit......Page 210 Appendix B: Software Design Using CCS C......Page 213 BAR1 Source Code......Page 215 PIC Registers......Page 216 BAR1 List File......Page 219 Program Debugging......Page 224 Typical Errors......Page 227 Appendix D: C Compiler Comparison......Page 230 Hi-Tech PIC C......Page 233 Matrix C......Page 237 Summary of C Compilers......Page 239 Punctuation......Page 242 Relational Operators......Page 243 Arithmetic and Logic Operators......Page 244 Appendix F: CCS C Program Function Reference......Page 245 Assessment 1......Page 258 Assessment 2......Page 260 Assessment 3......Page 263 Assessment 4......Page 265 Assessment 5......Page 268 C......Page 271 D......Page 272 I......Page 273 O......Page 274 P......Page 275 T......Page 277 X......Page 278 PIC Microcontrollers are present in almost every new electronic application that is released from garage door openers to the iPhone.

Microcontrollers are present in many new and existing electronic products, and the PIC microcontroller is a leading processor in the embedded applications market. Students and development engineers need to be able to design new products using microcontrollers, and this book explains from first principles how to use the universal development language C to create new PIC based systems, as well as the associated hardware interfacing principles.

The book includes many source code listings, circuit schematics and hardware block diagrams. It describes the internal hardware of 8-bit PIC microcontroller, outlines the development systems available to write and test C programs, and shows how to use CCS C to create PIC firmware. In addition, simple interfacing principles are explained, a demonstration program for the PIC mechatronics development board provided and some typical applications outlined.
