programming mikroICD - In Circuit Debugger ™ What is Debugging? Every developer comes to a point where he has to monitor the code execution in order to find errors in the code, or simply to see if everything is going as planed. This hunt for bugs, or errors in the code is called debugging.
Here is a short overview of which debugging commands are supported in mikroElektronika compilers. You can see what each command does, and what are their shortcuts when you are in debugging mode. It will give you some general picture of what your debugger can do. Toolbar Icon Command Name Shortcut Description Start Debugger [F9] Starts Debugger. Run/Pause Debugger [F6] Run/Pause Debugger. Stop Debugger [Ctrl + F2] Stops Debugger. [F7] Executes the current program line, then halts.
The UART (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) is one of the most common ways of exchanging data between the MCU and peripheral components. It is a serial protocol with separate transmit and receive lines, and can be used for full-duplex communication. Both sides must be initialized with the same baud rate, otherwise the data will not be received correctly. Enabling RS-232 RS-232 serial communication is performed through a 9-pin SUB-D connector and the microcontroller UART module.
communication UART via USB Modern PC computers, laptops and notebooks are no longer equipped with RS-232 connectors and UART controllers. They are nowadays replaced with USB connectors and USB controllers. Still, certain technology enables UART communication to be done over USB connection. Controllers such as FT232RL from FTDI® convert UART signals to the appropriate USB standard. In order to use USB-UART module on EasyPIC™ v7 for dsPIC30®, you must first install FTDI drivers on your computer.
communication CAN communication Controller Area Network (CAN or CAN bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer. CAN is a message-based protocol, designed specifically for automotive applications but now also used in other areas such as industrial automation and medical equipment.
mikroBUS sockets Easier connectivity and simple configuration are imperative in modern electronic devices. Success of the USB standard comes from it’s simplicity of usage and high and reliable data transfer rates. As we in mikroElektronika see it, Plug-and-Play devices with minimum settings are the future in embedded world too.

EasyPIC™ v7 for dsPIC30® provides the connector and necessary interface for supporting GLCD with resolution of 128x64 pixels, driven by the KS108 or compatible display controller. Communication with the display module is done through CN16 display connector.
displays Touch panel controller Touch panel is a glass panel whose surface is covered with two layers of resistive material. When the screen is pressed, the outer layer is pushed onto the inner layer and appropriate controllers can measure that pressure and pinpoint its location. This is how touch panels can be used as an input devices. EasyPIC™ v7 for dsPIC30® is equipped with touch panel controller and connector for 4-wire resistive touch panels.

other modules DS1820 - Digital Temperature Sensor DS1820 is a digital temperature sensor that uses 1-wire® interface for it’s operation. It is capable of measuring temperatures within the range of -55 to 128°C, and provides ±0.5°C accuracy for temperatures within the range of -10 to 85°C. It requires 3V to 5.5V power supply for stable operation. It takes maximum of 750ms for the DS1820 to calculate temperature with 9-bit resolution.
The LM35 is a low-cost precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. The LM35 thus has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in ° Kelvin, as the user is not required to subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain convenient Centigrade scaling. It has a linear +10.0 mV/°C scale factor and less than 60 μA current drain.
other modules ADC inputs Digital signals have two discrete states, which are decoded as high and low, and interpreted as logic 1 and logic 0. Analog signals, on the other hand, are continuous, and can have any value within defined range. A/D converters are specialized circuits which can convert analog signals (voltages) into a digital representation, usually in form of an integer number. The value of this number is linearly dependent on the input voltage value.
I C EEPROM Enabling I2C EEPROM In order to connect I2C EEPROM to the microcontroller you must place J14 (SCL) and J15 (SDA) jumpers in appropriate position. 1kΩ pullup resistors necessary for I2C communication are already provided on SDA and SCL lines. Prior to using EEPROM in your application, make sure to disconnect other peripherals, LEDs and additional pull-up or pull-down resistors from the interface lines in order not to interfere with signal/data integrity.
other modules Piezo Buzzer Piezo electricity is the charge which accumulates in certain solid materials in response to mechanical pressure, but also providing the charge to the piezoelectric material causes it to physically deform. One of the most widely used applications of piezo electricity is the production of sound generators, called piezo buzzers.
