This book is for everyone who wants to design electronic products using a microcontroller. Numerous easy-to-follow exercises take you through the hardware and firmware design of a microcontroller-based system, from using the ZDS IDE for compiling and downloading programs to the microcontroller, to interfacing external devices such as LCD displays. This book is written in tutorial style and is ideal for self-study but can also be used as a textbook for undergraduate or technical courses for students with minimal programming and electronics experience. The sample programs in the book were tested on the earlier Z8F640 development board as well as the Z8F642 development boards currently available.
Topics include DC motor control, RS-232 serial port communication, IrDA communication, LED matrix and LCD displays, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, and data logging to flash memory.

This accompanying experiments manual for the Fundamentals of Digital Electronics provides a hands-on guide to learning the topics presented in the textbook. The experiments uses Alexan's Digital Trainer but may also be performed using discrete components and tools. The experiments are arranged in basically the same order as the textbook to allow corresponding hands-on learning.

Cover Format: Paperback
Designed as a quick start guide for using a Z8 microcontroller, Learning Microcontroller Thru Experiments, provides valuable lessons in programming the Z86 MCU using different trainer modules and the Z86CCP00ZEM emulator. The lessons begin with simple applications that illustrate basic operations of the Z86 MCU through simple routines and gradually move on to more complex applications. Every major section ends with practical exercises based on the subjects covered.
Topics include making your own LED running lights, connecting switches, relays, seven-segment displays and stepper motors, using interrupts, internal timers, lookup tables, A/D conversion, multiplexing an LED matrix, and many more. Each lesson is presented with detailed information on the target modules including schematic diagrams and instructions on the proper connection to the Z86 emulator. The appendix section provides relevant information needed for programming the Z86E04 MCU as well as practical tips on the proper use of the Z86CCP00ZEM emulator.
