LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING
the end of this lab session, the student should be able to:
Create and manage Project C programming language.
Explain and Construct Basic I/O and Simple delay .
Examine the structure of C program for PIC 18.

ESPIC40C Trainer board , Personal Computer with MPLAB IDE, Serial

Bootloader and, PIC18F45K22 Datasheet.
As the scale of microcomputer based systems has increased over the
years, productivity and maintainability using Assembly language has
become an issue. As a result, C language has become a popular
alternative.
The following explains the main features of the C language and
describes how to write a program in "C".
Features of the C Language
(1) An easily traceable program can be written.
The basics of structured programming, i.e., "sequential processing",
"branch processing", and "repeat processing", can all be written in a
control statement. For this reason, it is possible to write a program
whose flow of processing can easily be traced.
(2) A program can easily be divided into modules.
A program written in the C language consists of basic units called
"functions". Since
functions have their parameters highly independent of others, a
program can easily be
made into parts and can easily be reused. Furthermore, modules
written in the assembly language can be incorporated into a C
language program directly without modification.
(3) An easily maintainable program can be written.
For reasons (1) and (2) above, the program after being put into
operation can easily be
maintained. Furthermore, since the C language is based on standard
specifications
(ANSI standard(Note)), a program written in the C language can be
ported into other
types of microcomputers after only a minor modification of the source
program.
Rules on C language
The following lists the six items that need to be observed when writing
a C language
program:
(1) As a convention, use lowercase letters to write a program.
(2) Separate executable statements in a program with a semicolon ";".

(3) Enclose execution units of functions or control statements with

brackets "{" and "}"
(4) Functions and variables require type declaration.
(5) Reserved words cannot be used in identifiers (e.g., function names
and variable
names).
(6) Write comments between "/" and "/".

PROCEDURES:
EXERCISES 1 (CREATE NEW PROJECT)
After finished install the MPLAB IDE, we are going to show you how to create a project
using it. There is
just a few simple step to follow on how to create it. Please follow the step below:
1. Go to to MENU BAR and click Project- > Project Wizard...

2. Click Next> . On the Device menu, choose PIC18F45K22 because we are going to use
this
PIC MCU for coming project.
3. Choose HI-TECH Universal Toolsuite in Active Toolsuite. A HI-TECH ANSI C Compiler
will show up in the Toolsuite Content.

4. After that, choose a destination where the project you create to be save as. And also the
project
name. After that, click NEXT>.
5. In step 4, there are no existing file to be added so we can skip this step by just click
NEXT> FINISH.
After that, a project are created with the project name you added earlier.
6. Create New File -> Save as LAB3.c
7. Source Files -> Add Files ->DIR -> LAB3.c (From your project folder)

PROGRAMMER SETUP

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
EC 501 EMBEDDED SYSTEM APPLICATION

In here, we want our compiler to automatically create the .HEX file into our PIC MCU after
compiler. There
will be just only a few step to do it. Please follow the instruction below:
1. Go to MENU BAR. Programmer> Select Programmer> None (Bootloader) or
PICkit 3 For this exercises click None.
2. Again, go to Configure > Select Device > PIC18F45K22.

OPEN PROJECT

There are only few simple step to open an project. 1st Open the project file. Then,
double click
the project file with MPLAB logo.
