Welcome to the PICEBS2 wiki

If you don't know what the PICEBS2 project is, have a look a the presentation.

Presentation

PICEBS2 (hardware details) is the name of a small embedded computer board targeted at teaching embedded system programming. As it's name suggests, it's the second iteration of a successful family of Microchip PIC board, this time focused on a stronger system.

As a student, you can loan a board during your Hes-so//Valais studing process ;-) Just ask the laboratory responsible Pascal Sartoretti (sap).

We, the PICEBS2 team, provide a comprehensive solution for

  • Practical work for HEI courses Information systems
  • All kind of project featuring a low-sized micro-controller.


What can be done with the PICEBS2 ?

The board is powerful enough to run applications with:

  • LCD and touch screen interface
  • Serial port usage (UART)
  • CAN interface
  • FIXME complete this list
  • This board includes the PICKIT3 for programming and debugging

Software

// to work with maximum CPU speed (64MHz) insert following code at start.
   PLLEN = 1;            // activate PLL x4
   OSCCON = 0b01110000;  // for 64MHz cpu clock (default is 8MHz)
   ...

Bugs, issues, questions and comments

Feel free to contact the PICEBS2 team when you encounter a problem. Don't forget to have a look at the troubleshooting section ;)
