After this class, you will be able to....
- write a PIC 16F873 assembly language program, simulate it, and
program it into a PICF873 device.
- write a C program targeted for PIC 16F873, simulate it, and
program it into a PICF873 device.
- build a single board microcontroller system that contains a
PIC 16F873, a serial EEPROM, a 8-bit Digital-to-Analog converter, and
an RS232 interface.
- explain the protocols used in I2C communication and use
peripherals that have this interface.
- decode the bit formatting used in infrared devices.
- explain how an audio record/playback system works and calculate
processing requirements to sustain a particular sampling rate.
- use pulse width modulation techniques to control the current
flow in an external device.
- demonstrate the basics of a signal processing system by using a
microcontroller with A/D, D/A capabilities to perform waveform generation.
