mikromedia BSP makes programming easier « Board Support Package in mikroElektronika compilers What is BSP? In embedded world, BSP or Board Support Package is the common name for all hardware-specific codes which simplifies working with the board. That is why we made a BSP package support for mikromedia™ workStation v7 board, to make programming of mikromedia™ boards much easier. Various mikromedia boards have different connections of microcontroller pins on side pads.

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. Step Into [F7] Executes the current program line, then halts.
connectivity Input/Output Group One of the most distinctive features of mikromedia ™ workStation v7 are it’s Input/Output PORT groups. They add so much to the connectivity potential of the board. Everything is grouped together PORT headers, PORT buttons and PORT LEDs are next to each other and grouped together. It makes development easier, and the entire mikromedia™ workStation v7 cleaner and well organized.
connectivity Headers Buttons Reset Button Figure 6-4: IDC10 male headers enable easy connection with mikroElektronika accessory boards In the far upper right section of the board, there is a RESET button, which can be used to manually reset the microcontroller. There is an additional button at the top of the mikromedia™ board. LED (Light-Emitting Diode) is a highly 5V efficient electronic GND light source.
connectivity 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.
connectivity GPS click™ BEE click™ ETH click™ WiFi PLUS click™ RTC click™ Click Boards are plug-n-play! ™ mikroElektronika portfolio of over 200 accessory boards is now enriched by an additional set of mikroBUS™ compatible Click Boards™. Almost each month several new Click boards™ are released. It is our intention to provide the community with as much of these boards as possible, so you will be able to expand your mikromedia™ workStation v7 board with additional functionality RS485 3.
Enabling RS-232 In order to enable RS-232 communication you must push SW3.6 (G4.4) and SW3.7 (G4.5) to ON position. This connects the RX and TX lines to appropriate mikromedia™ board UART module. 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 fullduplex communication.
Enabling USB-UART 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 via USB connection. FT232RL from FTDI® convert UART signals to the appropriate USB standard. In order to use USB-UART module on mikromedia™ workStation v7 board, you must first install FTDI drivers on your computer.
other modules Navigation switch When working with multimedia applications it is far more intuitive to use a single joystick than several different push buttons that are more far apart. This is more natural for users and they can browse through on-screen menus, or even play games much easier. mikromedia™ workStation v7 features navigation switch with five different positions: Up, Down, Left, Right and Push. Each of those acts as a button, and is connected to one of the following microcontroller pins: G0.

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.
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.
Piezo electricity is the charge which accumulates in certain solid materials in response to mechanical pressure, but also providing the charge to the piezo electric 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. Piezo buzzer is an electric component that comes in different shapes and sizes, which can be used to create sound waves when provided with analog electrical signal.
other modules Additional GNDs mikromedia™ workStation v7 board contains two GND pins located in different sections of the board, which allow you to easily connect oscilloscope GND reference when you monitor signals on microcontroller pins, or signals of on-board modules. 1 GND is located below the mikromedia™ board socket on the left side. 2 GND is located below the mikromedia™ board socket on the right side.
other modules Breadboard area mikromedia™ workStation v7 contains Breadboard area as well as additional 1x52 female header, side by side. That allows you to expand your mikromedia™ workStation v7 board with additional functionality. That can be done by placing your additional components (such as resistors, LED diodes, motors, DIP IC's, etc.) on available Breadboard area. There are 63 vertical lines on both halves of the Breadboard area. Each line consists out of 5 female connectors (connected together).
