Essential Support Software
All these software examples are free to download.
FTDI USB driver This
driver is required to allow communication between the P0701 USB PIC
Microcontroller module and a PC. You will also need the installation
guide. This FTDI driver is for windows XP, you can download drivers
for other operating systems directly from the FTDI
web site. The drivers can emulate an ordinary serial port allowing
many existing programs to communicate directly with the P0701
USB PIC
just like any other serial device. The drivers also include an API so
they can be used directly within many programming languages.
USB PIC download utility.
This utility enables application programs to be downloaded to a P0701
USB PIC Microcontroller module or to any module in a connected MonCon system. The
utility also allows commands and data to be sent, messages and data to
be read and all communications to be logged. The utility will run with
windows 98/2000/XP.
Updated P0701
Toolkit. A collection of all tools and support files to allow you to
write applications for the P0701 USB PIC
Microcontroller module in assembly language and
C, support for Microchip C18 and SourceBoost BoostC
compilers is included. Also support software and documentation to enable you to write
PC based programs to communicate with your P0701 applications. Version
1.3 toolkit now includes additional library functions for sending and
receiving additional data types including strings.
Examples
Updated Data
logger. An application for the P0701
USB PIC Microcontroller Module and a PC based program combine
to provide a fully functional multi-channel analogue data logger with
logging rates from 0.1 to 25.5 seconds, logging can be started paused
and stopped at will. A built in chart display shows the logged data as
it is read. All data is logged to a .csv file that can be easily
imported into your spreadsheet, charting or analysis software. Also all
source code is included so you can copy and/or adapt it as required for
your own projects. PC software runs under windows 98/2000/XP. Version
updated to include hex files for version 1 and 2 bootloaders and source
for C18 and BoostC compilers.
Updated Version
3.0 Stepper motor controller. An application for the P0701
USB PIC Microcontroller Module and a PC based demo program. The new version of stepper driver provides
a significant increase in performance with a much larger stepping rate
table providing smoother acceleration and deceleration and accurate
speeds, stepping rates range from 125 steps per second to 100,000 steps
per second in 4 overlapping ranges (125 to 12,500, 250 to 25,000, 500 to
50,000 and 1000 to 100,000). The firmware now automatically handles the
ramp-down point for deceleration without it needing to be calculated. A
new PC demo program has been written to show off the features of the
stepper firmware, the program will run under windows 98/2000/XP. All
source code is also included for the stepper firmware and the PC demo
program. The example includes firmware for the P0701 USB PIC
Microcontroller Module with version 1
and 2 bootloaders.
Basic Input/Output
example assembly program An example application written in assembly
language. All source code is included and documentation showing how to
communicate with the program. The program provides basic bit and byte
wide digital I/O, analogue input functions and functions to operate the
CCP module to generate pulse width modulation output. This example is currently suitable
for the P0701 USB PIC Microcontroller Module, with version 1 bootloader, but will be updated soon.
