Controllers provide the implementation of control functions in accordance with what program was originally incorporated into it. Most aspects of the operation of the future device depend on how correctly the programming was performed.
Necessary
- - compiler;
- - emulator.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a dedicated compiler for programming that matches the specifics of your project. It is best to choose options with emulators, so that in the future you have the opportunity to check. You can also download emulators as separate utilities. You can get all this on the official websites of the developers, having previously read the reviews in the comments of other users of these utilities. Back up your working base.
Step 2
To program your controller yourself, follow the instructions in the user manual, which may well be included with your software. Open your project window, which will display its main elements: resistors, terminal, LEDs, input devices and an oscilloscope. Re-compile.
Step 3
Periodically checking the code you wrote on the emulator program, take the necessary steps to bring it to the final result. It may take an hour, two, a day, a week, a tambourine and a shaman's hat may be required - it all depends on your skills in programming controllers and on the scale and complexity of the project.
Step 4
Always save a successfully changed operating configuration, and try to work with an uninterruptible power supply to avoid data loss in the future. Always pay attention to the indicators of the emulator program and do not work without it, since you will hardly be able to identify bugs in any other way. Also, a lot depends on the editor and compiler, it is best to use several at once for different projects, taking into account the peculiarities of each.
