Programming 16-Bit PIC Microcontrollers in C: Learning to Fly the PIC 24

e Systems e Systems he parallel with learning a new development tool and possibly an entirel y new language ? We learn about the C30 compiler (student v ersion) and we start developing code for the new 16-bit families of dsPI C and PIC24 microcontrollers.
- Use of MPLAB and the Simul ator as a familiar environment,
- continuous parallels wit h assembly programming,
Proceed through: 1.1. Step by step installation of the compiler 1.2. Walk throug h some of the most basic steps of creating a new MPLAB project with the C30 language suite 1.3. the first #include, accessing the P ICmicro resources in C 1.4. the first interrupt 1.5. Timing clock and
1.6. Hello (Embedded) World 1.7. Linking and running within the simulator

1. Touch and Go? i.e. stay in the pattern and practice your lan dings. Debugging code with MLAB in a C30 project. 2.1. Watc h for your Airspeed, that is: keep an eye on the clock (watch windows, s
