PIC18F Programming in C - Foundation Workshop using the C18 C Compiler

This hands-on course aims to provide engineers with an understanding of the enhanced PIC18C / PIC18F family of microcontrollers and experience of using Microchip development tools to create and debug simple 'C' programs. Understand the architecture and features of the PIC18C / PIC18F family of microcontrollers Gain hands-on experience of Microchip development tools and the C18 compiler for creating and debugging 'C' programs on a target PIC18C / PIC18F microcontroller Be introduced to the use of on-chip peripherals to simplify interfaces to the outside world The emphasis is on providing a solid foundation of knowledge on the architecture and features of this range of microcontrollers, together with practical experience of the development tools and the steps required to embark on a new development. The course includes many practical workshop exercises which are interleaved with the relevant presentation material for maximum impact and variety. These exercises are carried out using MPLAB® software running on a Windows® PC, an ICD programmer/debugger and a target development board containing a PIC16C / PIC16F microcontroller on which programs created during the exercises can be observed to be running in real-time.
