Projects and Related Work:

Embedded Microcontroller Design Projects:

. Design of DMX-512A protocol using PIC18F4520 hardware

o Built a controller and device using PIC18F4520 for a timing

intensive asynchronous communications interface based on the DMX-

512A protocol, for controlling different applications.

o Used RS 232 for computer, device, RS 485 for device, controller and

UART for PIC communications.

o Low level assembly code written for PIC18F4520 to work as per

requirements. Used MPLAB ICD for debugging, code exporting and

testing controller and devices.

. Design of Cooperative Real-time Operating System:

o Written C code for PIC 18F4520 controller that implements a

cooperative RTOS with support for semaphores, system timers, and

priority scheduling.

o Used MPLAB ICD for debugging, code exporting and testing device,

Code Composer Studio for C code simulation.

. Design of Wireless mesh network and controller

o Built hardware and developed software for a wireless mesh network

and controller. The software developed will include a real-time

operating system, device driver, protocol stacks, and application

layer software for a controller and device nodes in ISM-band

wireless mesh network using C.

o The wireless network controller will bridge to an 802.3/Ethernet

10BASE-T network with a HTTP interface.

o The controller will use an 18LF4620 controller and the devices will

use an 18LFxx20 controller. The Ethernet PHY will use the ENC28J60

IC and the wireless network will use the nRF24L01 transceiver IC.

o The RTOS used is Cooperative RTOS written using C, and used CCS

compiler to compile and test.

o Used MPLAB ICD for debugging, code exporting and testing controller

and devices.

. Design and optimize a DSP-based system capable of performing real-time

data processing

o Design and optimize a DSP-based system capable of performing real-

time data processing and analysis on stereo 48ksps audio signals

that will replace a series of analog circuits performing tone

control.

o Coded most efficient solution possible as evidenced by low processor

clock rates and hence lower power consumption.
