Week 9 : PIC program and testing of the project.

Week No : 9                                                                                                 Date : 22/3/2012

Title of Activity : PIC program and testing of the project.

Objective :
1) To design the flow of the process for the project.
2) To learn how to burn the program.
3) To combine between hardware part & software part.

Content / Procedure :
1) Design the process of the project objective.
2) Write the program in MPLAB IDE software.
3) Burn the IC and test the program.
4) The program must suitable with hardware compartment function.

Result and Analysis :
1) The program conversions from analog to digital.
2) Set the value should be same with the actual temperature in ' smart phototherapy ' incubator.
3) The program should include PWM concept when the system is running to control the heat produced by heat element.
4) Produces heat either 100% , 90% or 50%.
5) The program shows the LCD initializes before the result will be displayed on the LCD.

Conclusion :
The MPLAB IDE is used because of it is the highly optimized compilers for the PIC18 series micro-controllers, high performance PIC24 MCUS, dsPIC digital signal controller and PIC32 MX MCUS.
