Introduction
Most of the trainer kits that are available in the laboratories of different institutions are of
very high cost and is difficult to use because of their small size and/or complex functionalities.
Also the cost for maintenance is observed high mostly because of the unavailability of the
components.
The PIC Trainer Kit is developed as a first step to provide low cost solutions for the
above common issues. The kit is very handy to be used in a laboratory with a reduced
complexity in functionalities. It is designed in such a way that it has most of the functionalities
that are necessary to do the experiments in a laboratory. The entire kit uses components which
are easily available in the market. This makes the maintenance of the kit cheap in terms of cost.
The PIC Trainer Kit is designed to support a wide variety of PIC microcontrollers. The
PIC can be programmed either through a serial port or using ICD2 which uses the USB.
The different peripherals associated with the kit are
(1) Switches and LEDs to control and observe the states of different port pins of the PIC.
(2) Seven segment LED display (Serial data and control)
(3) Hex Keypad
(4) Stepper motor driver
(5) Relay to drive AC devices
(6) LCD Display
(7) Square wave generator with variable frequency
(8) Bread board to assemble small circuits
All these features are provided on the Kit without any compromise in quality at a
reasonable cost.
The Kit is developed as part of a project done at National Institute of Technology, Calicut
by a group of students doing M.Tech in Electronics Design and Technology.

JDM programming
The PICPgm Development Programmer Software is a free and simple In-System-Development

Programmer Software for the Microchip PIC microcontrollers.
The programmer has the following features:
Graphical User Interface and Command Line version available
Runs on Windows 9x/ME/2k/XP/Vista and Linux (for WIN 2k/XP/Vista an include
driver is used to access the parallel port)
Automatically detects the PIC device and uses the appropriate programming method
Programs flash memory (code), internal EEPROM and configuration bits from data of
HEX file
Designed to allow In-System-Programming and low-voltage programming (no
programming voltage needed!)
Programmer pins can be configured (pin assignment, inverted/non inverted pin)
STEP 1:- Connect programmer and run PICPgm software
15
STEP 2:- Load hex file
STEP 3:-Enter configuration bits
16
STEP 4:-Click on program pic button
3.6 MAX 232 (RS 232)

The PIC18 has two pins that are used specifically for transferring and receiving data
serially. These two pins are
RX (PORT C7,Pin 26 )
TX (PORT C6,Pin 25)
These pins are TTL compatible; therefore they require a line driver (voltage converter) to
make them RS232 compatible. The MAX232 converts from RS232 voltage levels to TTL
voltage levels and vice versa. One advantage of the MAX232 chip is that it uses a +5V supply,
which is the same as the source voltage for the PIC18.

Rx and Txare cross connected on the board. Therefore make sure that serial cable is not
cross connected.
Use serial cable with Female connector on both ends
Sample code
#include<p18f452.h>
voidSerTx(unsigned char);
void main()
{
TXSTA=0x20;
// choose low Baud rate, 8 bit

// Wait until transmitted
TXREG=c;
// Place character in Buffer
3.7 EEPROM
Atmel AT24C256B, which has 262,144 bits of serial electrically erasable and
programmableread-only memory (EEPROM) organized as 32,768 words of 8 bits each.
pin 5 is serial data,
pin 6 is serial clock input,
pin 5 is connected to the SDA (pin 23) of the microcontroller through a jumper,
pin 6 is connected to the SCK (pin 18) of the microcontroller using a jumper.

4 I/O Board
The I/O Board is used to give input to the ports of the microcontroller. It can also be used
to know the status of the port pins.,i.e. it can also be used as a output device.
1. Power Connector
2. Female Connector
3. IO Switch (IOSWx)
4. Power Switch
5. LED (LEDx)
6. Power LED
7. Input Switch (IPSWx)
8. Push Button Switch (PBSWx)
19
Entire board is powered through the power switch (marked as POWER SWITCH in
PCB) and the green LED on the board (marked as POWER LED on PCB) indicates the power.
4.1 Using I/O Board to give input to port pin Px

Keep the IO switch IOSWx* at position 1 (Position 1 is marked as I/P on the PCB.)
Use the Input Swith IPSWx* to connect the port pin, Px* to Vcc or Ground, i.e., to give a
high or low to Px*. To give logic HIGH, keep the Input Switch at position 1 shown in PCB.
Similarly for giving logic LOW keep the Input Switch at position 0.
Use the Pushbutton switch PBSWx* to give trigger to the port pin Px. Pushing the
pushbutton switch, PBSWx, gives logic LOW. Make sure that the switch IPSWx in position 1 for
correct functionality.
(* See Port mapping for switches and LEDs Section 4.3 )
4.2 Using I/O Board as output to port pins

Keep the IO switch IOSWx* at position 2 (Position 2 is marked as O/P on the PCB).
This makes the LEDx* to display the status of the port pin Px*.
(* See Port mapping for switches and LEDs Section 4.3 )

6 Seven Segment
6.1 Overview
LED is peripheral board with four 7-segment LED displays with decimal point. The
displays are placed on DIL-40 socket and can be easily replaced. 4-digit LED driver SAA1064
from Philips Semiconductors with I2C-Bus interface is installed to this board. The segment
outputs of LED-driver are controllable current-sink sources. To prevent a damaging of LED
driver the current limit resistors are added to the board. Segment outputs are switched on by the
corresponding data bits and their current is adjusted by control bits. LED driver on the board is
controlled via an I2C-compatible serial bus.

12 Appendix C: Things to be taken care of in next version

12.1 I/O Board:
All LEDs on the I/O Board are ON by default. i.e, if the Port Connector is left floating
the LEDs are ON. To eliminate this unwanted power loss, it is better to give a pull down resistor
at the input of all the inverters which is used as LED driver.
But this issue can be considered useful as it can indicate whether all the LEDs/inverters are
working or not.
Keeping both these factors in mind a solution need to be figured out for this issue.
