Abstract

In this paper we present experiments and projects which gives hands-on experience to the students who start working with microcontrollers initially. As PIC microcontrollers have become popular and are one of the best microcontrollers to start working with in an introductory embedded system laboratory, we have chosen PIC 18F25K20 microcontroller available on the market in a palm size module by name: AMICUS. The exercises described in this paper can be introduced as a one-third semester laboratory course. The AMICUS module is inexpensive and can be used to perform basic and project-based exercises. It is well suited for an under graduate engineering or science course, with electronics, computer science as major. If it is a introductory laboratory course on microcontrollers, it gives an opportunity for the student to use his previous knowledge on basic electronic circuits, digital system design, computer architecture and software development. This paper is not only useful for academics but also useful for amateur electronics hobbyist.
