Amicus18 Code Examples

With a 64Mhz PIC (18F25K20) at the core, the Amicus18 is an embedded system platform based on a simple open hardware design for a single-board microcontroller, with embedded I/O support and a standard programming language.

Developers can use any programming language they wish. Schematics, bootloader and comprehensive supporting documentation is all FREE and OPEN SOURCE.

See the Amicus18 Review for more information.

Amicus IDE - DS18B20 Sensor +

Reading about the Amicus18 left me intrigued to trial it's seamless interfacing. A developer does not need a programmer or USB-UART converters -- it's all onboard. Once your finished writing your program, you hit compile+program and the Amicus IDE will promptly have the PIC flashed. Also, there's no need to connect different headers or flick switches to "talk" with the device - it all works hassle free with the USB cable connected. A benifit of...

Not Quite Trivial - A Tip for using the Software UART with the PICKit 2 +

This tip is almost trivial, but it's a D'uh moment too. Just in case anyone else has missed the obvious. here's a quick tip. I usually use Swordfish's hardware UART routines and I don't recommend Swordfish's software UART for input, where there...

Simulating Analog Sensor Inputs +

When developing an embedded application using analog sensor inputs, testing at specific sensor levels can be difficult. For example, in my icemaker controller project, actions need to occur at certain water levels. Using the actual sensor...

10 Keys on One Port Pin? +

I'm working on a control system that will have several relays, a bunch of LEDs and a number of switches. I was rapidly running out of port pins on a TAP-28 board to handle all the desired I/O. Possible solutions included adding an I2C port...
