Lab 1 - Programming The Pic16f887 Using Mplab and Proteus Isis

This lab demonstrates how to create a single digit decimal counter using a PIC16F887 microcontroller and MPLAB IDE. It also introduces Proteus software to simulate the circuit. Students will write an assembly language program in MPLAB to count the number of presses of a switch input. The program is compiled and embedded into the PIC16F887 in Proteus to simulate the circuit counting on the 7-segment display. Finally, students program the PIC16F887 on a breadboard and test it counts the switch presses. Exercises ask students to add comments to the program and modify it to display letters on a 14-segment display instead of numbers.

Experiment 1:
1. Create a new folder in computers local disk (C:). Rename the folder as you wish.
2. Study the flow chart and the program in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Compare and match the
flow chart with the program.
3. Launch MPLAB IDE.
4. Open a new project (apply the following procedures):
a. Project->Project Wizard->next.
b. Step 1: Select a device (select PIC16F887)->next.
c. Step 2: Select a language toolsuite (select Microchip MPASM Toolsuite)->next.
d. Step 3: Create a new project file (Browse to the folder that you have created in 1.) >Write any name->Save->Next.
e. Step 4: Add existing file. (for new project->click next, for existing project->
browse from the list and select the corresponding .asm file->add->next)->Finish.
5. Create a new .asm file and add it into the project file opened in 5:
a. File->New.
b. Write the program given in Figure 1 in the editor.
c. Save the program (File->Save As). Browse to the folder that you have created in 1.
Give any name to the file, make sure to put .asm as file extension.
d. Project->Add Files to Project->Select the file that you have created in 6(c)->Open.
6. Build the project. (Project->Build All). If the program was built successfully, you should
have a file with .HEX in the folder created in 1.

Experiment 2:
1. Launch ISIS Proteus.
2. Construct the circuit in Figure 3.
3. Save the circuit in the same folder created in Experiment 1.
4. Store the program written in Experiment 1 into the PIC16F887:
a. Double click the PIC16F887 (The Edit Component page will appear).
b. At the Program File option (browse for the .HEX file obtained in Experiment 1) >Open->OK.
5. Play the circuit (click the triangle button at the left bottom).
6. Click the BUTTON switch on the circuit. Observe.

Experiment 3:
1. Program the PIC16f887.
2. Construct the circuit in Figure 3 on the breadboard.
3. Observe.
Exercises:
1. Write comments for each instruction in the program given in Figure 1.
2. Replace the 7-segment display with a 14-segment display. Modify the program so that
instead of counting up, it shows letters in alphabetical order (A->B->C->Z->A) with
every click on BUTTON switch (use Proteus and MPLAB). Attach your program with this
report.
