Simulate and Interface PIC Microcontrollers: A Project-Based Approach

This course aims to teach you how to simulate code, board schematics and practical applications for various components. It starts by discovering how to download and install simulation software. After that, you will be familiar with the software interface. Interface menus will be the next topic and you will understand all available options in detail. The main window, as well as commands, will next be comprehended.

The course then highlights the different simulation board options. Depending on the board, the microcontroller options will vary. Every available option for each board, from the most simple to the most sophisticated, will be thoroughly explained. You will discover the components, internal structure and schematics of each board. Further, you will learn to play with code examples with different compilers.

Then, we will focus on the practical examples. First, you will learn how to turn on and off LEDs and read input signals from switches. Next, you will understand how to write codes or sentences on your LCD using PIC simulation software. Also, interfacing a relay using a PIC microcontroller and a 7-segment simulation will be comprehended. The final section will explain the buzzer temperature fan heater and PWM simulation components.
