Title: Introduction to PICAXE

Title: Introduction to PICAXE Architecture and PICAXE Assembly Programing Purpose: To download all of the software necessary to program the PICAXE, to introduce the student to writing a simple program, and to download the code to the PICAXE chip. Prelab: Bring in a windows laptop. If you do not have a windows laptop, get a lab computer from the instructor. Procedure: Using the equipment and components provided in the lab, complete the lab as described. Step 1: Create a dedicated folder for all the files you will need. Download all the files that are included in the notes and store them in the dedicated folder. Step 2: Install the Compiler / IDE version 6. Step 3: Install the 027 cable drivers. Step 4: Attach an LED to each of the 8 pins on Port B. Turn on pin B.0 through pin B.7 in order with a delay of 1/2 of a second between pins. Then turn off pin B.7 through B.0 in order with a delay of 1/2 of a second. Demonstrate the circuit to the instructor. NOTE: Part of this question is to test the pins on port B the Picaxe that was in your kit. If you are having trouble with any of the pins it might be the chip, let the instructor know. Step 5: Attach an LED to each of the 8 pins on Port C. Turn on pin C.0 through pin C.7 in order with a delay of 1/2 of a second between pins. Then turn off pin C.7 through C.O in order with a delay of 1/2 of a second. Demonstrate the circuit to the instructor. NOTE: Part of this question is to test the pins on port C the Picaxe that was in your kit. If you are having trouble with any of the pins it might be the chip, let the instructor know. Step 6: Simulate the program using the IDE simulator. Demonstrate the simulation to the instructor. Step 7: Draw a detailed schematic of your configuration using the computer program of your choice. Step 8: Print out a copy of your code.
