This practical resource introduces students to programming microcontrollers through a range of activities based around a simulation of a washing machine.
Practical activities based around this card are provided on the digital curriculum disk provided with the trainer.
The card may also be used with optional Cloud-based software. The Cloud-based software contains theory presentations, investigations, and assessments, which link directly to the practical activities carried out using this resource.
The Card Includes the Following:
- Control outputs: drum motor, water heater, valve, pump
- Control inputs: temperature sensor, motor speed sensor, door lock sensor
- Zero insertion force socket for PIC microcontroller
- PIC programmer and development software
- Switched faults for fault-finding activities
Practical Tasks Include the Following:
- Investigating sensors and actuators
- Controlling I/O port lines
- Performing arithmetic and logical operations
- Investigating branches and jumps
- Using subroutines
- Controlling motor direction and speed
- Motor speed control with feedback
- Full washing machine sequence
Note:
This card requires access to an
Electronics Study Trainer (320-00) to run.
