June 28 - Day 5: Monitor & Control the Basic4android Way
Continuing Education Center 6/28/2013 Post a comment Today, we will assemble a Basic4android application that will allow our Samsung tablet to control and monitor our remote TCP/IP-based hardware. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, well revisit Bluetooth from a different perspective.
June 27 - Day 4: Network Firmware the Basic4android Way
Continuing Education Center 6/27/2013 Post a comment Yesterday, we mapped out our network paths and performed some preflight checks on our selected network hardware. Today, we will throttle up the firmware and hardware to 100% and flight-test the network. We will also take a look at what needs to be done on the Basic4android side to support our mission tomorrow.
June 26 - Day 3: Network Hardware the Basic4android Way
Continuing Education Center 6/26/2013 Post a comment Before the week is up, we are going to write some Basic4android code that will take advantage of an Android devices ability to communicate via the Internet. So, it might be a good idea to round up some appropriate network hardware. Here well examine the networking devices and lay down plans to put them on the Internet.
June 25 - Day 2: Bluetooth the Basic4android Way
Continuing Education Center 6/25/2013 Post a comment In this session, we will explore the Bluetooth capabilities of Basic4android. We will write Basic4android application code to administrate the Bluetooth adapter. Our Basic4android application will allow us to enable the Bluetooth adapter, disable the Bluetooth adapter, monitor the Bluetooth adapters state, and discover devices in range.
June 24 - Day 1: Hello World the Basic4android Way
Continuing Education Center 6/24/2013 Post a comment This class will revolve around the installation of the Basic4android environment and the creation of our very first Basic4android application. It wont take long to see that Basic4android can be used to painlessly realize industrial-grade Android applications. Our first Android application will prove to be a bit more useful than displaying Hello World. We are going to dive right in and write some Basic4android code to communicate with an FTDI FT311D USB Android Host IC.
Feb 8 - Day 5 Bootloading CCS C Compiler Applications
Continuing Education Center 2/8/2013 261 comments The final session will focus on developing bootloadable applications using the CCS C Compiler for PIC Microcontrollers. The idea is to demonstrate the versatility of the Bootloader code by demonstrating bootloading PICBASIC PRO applications followed by bootloading and running PIC18F47J13 applications generated with the CCS C Compiler.
Feb 7 - Day 4 Bootloading PICBASIC PRO 3.0 Applications
Continuing Education Center 2/7/2013 270 comments The fourth session will describe how to write PICBASIC PRO 3.0 applications that can be loaded via the Microchip PIC18F47J13 Bootloader. A PICBASIC PRO 3.0 driver for the NHD-02C16CZ that can be melded with the Microchip Bootloader code and PICBASIC PRO 3.0 application code will be introduced.
Feb 6 - Day 3 Bootloader Firmware Design
Continuing Education Center 2/6/2013 252 comments The third session will concentrate on the assembly of the necessary Microchip Memory Disk Drive File System components to support the PIC18F47J13. The concepts presented in this session will be supported by working code examples. The Microchip Memory Drive File System API will also be examined.
Feb 5 - Day 2 Bootloader Hardware Design
Continuing Education Center 2/5/2013 391 comments The second session will describe the hardware design that will be used to implement the physical components of the Microchip PIC18F47J13 Bootloader. The hardware will consist of a PIC18F47J13 that is supported by an FTDI FT232RL USB-to-UART Bridge IC and a Microchip MCP1703 3.3-volt LDO voltage regulator. A buffered microSD card carrier card and an NHD-02C16CZ 3.3-volt LCD are also part of the Bootloader hardware complement.
Feb 4 - Day 1 Anatomy of a Microcontroller Bootloader
Continuing Education Center 2/4/2013 386 comments This first session will introduce the students to the basic firmware elements of the microchip microcontroller, Bootloader. The building blocks that make up the Microchip Bootloader will be described in detail. The firmware that supports each Bootloader building block will also be examined.
