Happy New Year, welcome to year 2010. We will start with basic workshop. If you are new to PIC Microcontroller and are interested to start, by googling the Internet, you might notice “PIC16F84A” or “PIC16F877A”, why? Because PIC16F84A and PIC16F877A are 2 very popular PIC models since the year I started to use PIC. Though it have been years back, it still remain one of the famous PIC used among students, hobbiyst, researchers and developers. Many would like to get started, but was stuck at how to write program for it? what is configuration bits? Which Language to be used? C or Assembly? So many question mark…… and finally many stop in the middle.

Now, you have the chance to get started with the guidance from Microchip (the designer and manufacturer of PIC Microcontroller). As a start for 2010, we shall conduct it at Northern Region, USM Nibong Tebal. Join us for 1 day workshop at USM, to explore the architecture of PIC16 family and also the instruction set (Assembly Language). There are 5 labs for participant to pick up the understanding of how PIC works and also furnish the skill of writing code. Furthermore, for those company or college that registered with HRFD, this workshop is claimable under SBL. If you need the facilitator profile from us, please email to support@cytron.com.my

Title: Getting Started with Mid-Range Microcontroller Family Architecture and Instruction Set
Course Code: WS-MCU1101
Venue: DataComm Lab, 2.04 Level 2, School of Electrical @ Electronic Egineering, USM (Nibong Tebal), Map to USM, Map in USM
Date: 25th Feb 2010 (Thursday)
Time: 9.00am to 5.00pm

Description:

This hands-on class covers the fundamentals of the mid-range microcontroller family’s 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.

Material Included:

* CD which contain:
o Workshop slide in pdf format
o MPLAB IDE installation
o Hands-On template and solutions
* Lab Hands-Out in hard copy
* PICDEM 2 board and ICD 2 will be loaned to participant during workshop

Duration: 1 days (7 hours)
Fee: RM500.00 (Breakfast, Lunch and Tea is included)
Status: Open for registration (Open for public, anyone interested can register)
Food: Breakfast, Lunch and Tea is included
Accommodation: NOT Included
