Serial Status Input Circuit

When collecting status input data, a few points rapidly consume many connections requiring distribution panels, multiplex logic and expensive parallel IO devices. This simple serial circuit allows you to daisy chain status inputs up to 16 inputs using only four wires. I chose this circuit for a Subsea System due to the high cost of underwater cabling and connectors.

Open Programmer PIC and Atmel

An open source USB programmer for PIC micros, I2C EEPROMs, some ATMEL micros, generic I2C/SPI devices and (soon) other devices.

Open Programmer PIC and Atmel

• Completely free and Open Source (including firmware)
• Programs PIC10-12-16-18, 24xxxx I2C EEPROMs, some ATMEL micros, communicates with generic I2C & SPI devices (see supported devices)
• USB interface, HID class (same as keyboards, mice, etc.)
• Self powered
• Doesn't need drivers
• Built from easy to find components (estimated cost ~10€)
• Hardware generated timings for maximum speed and reliability (writes a 18F2550 in 15s, 8s under Linux)
• Doesn't saturate your CPU and doesn't suffer when other programs are running
• Open source control programs for Linux and Windows

KTechLab - Open Source IDE

KTechLab project. KTechLab is a an IDE for microcontrollers and electronics. It supports circuit simulation, program development for microcontrollers and simulating the programmed microcontroller together with its application circuit. Ktechlab was developed by David Saxton.

KTechLab - Open Source IDE

From Design Gopher - Electronic Product Development

Integrated Design Environment (IDE) for electronic and PIC microcontroller circuit design and simulation. Featuring an extensive circuit designer with autorouting and simulation of many common electronic components and logic elements, KTechLab is the idea tool for educational or hobbyist use. You can simulate analog circuits and logical circuits using KTechLab.

You can write programs using Assembly, C (SDCC), or Flow Code - program the microcontroller(PIC) using flowchart. Another option is Microbe a programming language like BASIC.

KTechLab supports a wide range of Open Source PIC programmers, enabling finalised PIC programs to be quickly and easily transfered to a real PIC microcontroller.
