 Introduction to MPLABx IDE
Objectives:
i) Introduction and Familiarization with MPLABx IDE software.
ii) Basic Understanding of how to install and create project in MPLABx IDE.
iii) Basic C++ Coding using MPLABx IDE software.

Introduction:
1. MPLABx IDE:

MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software program that introduces

powerful tools to help configure, develop, debug and qualify embedded designs for most of
Microchip’s microcontrollers and digital signal controllers.
It is called an Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, because it provides a single
integrated environment to develop code for embedded microcontrollers.
2. Uses and Benefits of MPLABx IDE:

The MPLAB IDE provides the ability to:

➢ Create and edit source code using the built-in editor.
➢ Assemble, compile and link source code.
➢ Debug the executable logic by watching program flow with the built-in simulator or in
real time with in-circuit emulators or in-circuit debuggers.
➢ Make timing measurements with the simulator or emulator.
➢ View variables in Watch windows.
➢ Program firmware into devices with device programmers

3. Languages used in MPLABx IDE:

➢ C/C++
➢ Shell Scripts
➢ Make file
➢ SQL
➢ Assembly
➢ HTML
➢ Java Script
➢ XML

Objectives
iv) Introduction and Familiarization with Proteus software.
v) Basic Understanding of how to install and create project in Proteus.
vi) To interface LEDs with PIC microcontroller using Proteus.

Introduction
4. Proteus Software

It is a software suite containing schematic, simulation as well as PCB designing.

 • ISIS is the software used to draw schematics and simulate the circuits in real time. The
simulation allows human access during run time, thus providing real time simulation.
• ARES is used for PCB designing. It has the feature of viewing output in 3D view of
the designed PCB along with components.
• The designer can also develop 2D drawings for the product.

5. Micro controller Simulation

The micro-controller simulation in Proteus works by applying either a hex file or a debug file
to the microcontroller part on the schematic. It is then co-simulated along with any analog and
digital electronics connected to it. This enables its use in a broad spectrum of project
prototyping in areas such as motor control, temperature control and user interface design, since
no hardware is required, is convenient to use as training or teaching tool. Support is available
for co-simulation of:
• Microchip Technologies PIC10, PIC12, PIC16, PIC18, PIC24, dsPIC33
Microcontrollers.
• Atmel AVR (and Arduino), 8051 and ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers
• NXP 8051, ARM7, ARM Cortex-M0 and ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers.
• Texas Instruments MSP430, PICCOLO DSP and ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers.
• Parallax Basic Stamp, Freescale HC11, 8086 Microcontrollers

Procedure:
Steps for creating a basic code for interfacing LEDs with microcontroller:
11. Open the Proteus Software installed in your system, a starting Main page will appear.

 Introduction to Arduino
Objectives:
i) Introduction and Familiarization with Arduino IDE software.
ii) Basic Understanding of how to install and create project in Arduino IDE.
iii) Basic C++ Coding using Arduino IDE software.

Introduction:
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and
software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a
Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing
something online.

There are many other microcontrollers and microcontroller platforms available for physical
computing. Parallax Basic Stamp, Netmedia's BX-24, Phidgets, MIT's Handyboard, and many
others offer similar functionality. All of these tools take the messy details of microcontroller
programming and wrap it up in an easy-to-use package. Arduino also simplifies the process of
working with microcontrollers, but it offers some advantage for teachers, students, and interested
amateurs over other systems:

• Inexpensive: Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller

platforms. The least expensive version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand,
and even the pre-assembled Arduino modules cost less than \$50
• Cross-platform: The Arduino Software (IDE) runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and
Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows.
• Simple, clear programming environment: The Arduino Software (IDE) is easy-to-use
for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For
teachers, it's conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students
learning to program in that environment will be familiar with how the Arduino IDE works.
• Open source and extensible software: The Arduino software is published as open source
tools, available for extension by experienced programmers. The language can be expanded
through C++ libraries, and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the
leap from Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. Similarly,
you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to.
• Open source and extensible hardware: The plans of the Arduino boards are published
under a Creative Commons license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own
version of the module, extending it and improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users
can build the breadboard version of the module in order to understand how it works and
save money.
Types of Arduino:
1. Arduino UNO

2. Lilypad Arduino

3. Arduino Mega
4. Arduino Leonardo

5. Arduino Red Board

Conclusion:
For the electronic project, there are number of Arduino products available in the market.
And the selection of the Arduino product is completely based on the requirement of project and
budget of the project. All the products have different features, uses and selection of right product
is completely dependent on user requirements.

Conclusion:

The goals that we set out to achieve in the purpose were all achieved as we proved in the
video. Similarly, the whole process was documented in the schematic and theory sections. These
all prove that the Arduino platform is indeed beginner friendly (even though it came without
instructions!) and that getting the hardware equivalent of a "hello, world" program of blinky
LEDs resulted in few hassles.

Introduction:
This simple little project uses an Arduino and some LEDs to replicate a traffic light. It uses code
as an internal timer and continues to run until you cut the Arduino's power supply. This project is
done to give you an idea of how the traffic light controller works. This is not the real time traffic
light controller. So, at start, green light of signal 1 and red lights at other signals will light up to
give time to the vehicles at signal 1 to pass. After 5 seconds, the yellow light at signal 1 will light
up to give an indication that the red light at signal 1 is about to come up and also to give an
indication to the vehicles at signal 2 that the green light is about to light up. So, after 2 seconds,
red light at signal 1 will come up and green light at signal will come up meaning vehicles at signal
1 must stop and vehicles at signal 2 can move. Similarly, the traffic light controller will work for
the signal 3, signal 4 and the system will keep looping.

Conclusion:
There are total of 12 LEDs used in this project. Each signal has 3 LEDs (Red, Yellow and
Green) connected to it through the 220-ohm resistors. The resistors are used to limit the current
that is going to pass through the LEDs. If you won’t use the resistors then the LEDs may burn due
to excessive current.
