TASKS
1. TEXTBOOK: Practical aspects of embedded systems design using microcontrollers [1].

2. IDE: MPLAB X IDE[2]

3. COMPILER: MPLAB XC8 Compiler [3]

4. EMULATOR: PICsimlab [4]

Task 1 (AVR: Arduino)

1. Install Arduiono IDE.

2. Install com0com (https://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/), change the name of the

ports to com5, com6, then connect them together. Set its configuration as Figure 1.

3. Connect Arduino IDE to com5, config the PICsimlab5 to com6.

4. Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be96Ds8umig&t=165s

5. Create the same demo for AnalogInOutSerial. Open OscilloScope, LogWindow for
Serial port, spare parts with potentionmeters.

6. Capture the screen as your result.
