Advanced Meachatronic projects with the PIC32MX170F256B chip:

• (hw2) Basic circuit for PIC32MX170F256B Circuit design
• (hw3) UART communication & live Python data plotting
• (hw4) PCB design - KiCad
• (hw5) SPI communication with a DAC
• (hw6) I2C communication with a 8-Bit I2C I/O Expander
• (hw7) I2C communication with a IMU - MPU6050
• (hw8) I2C communication with an OLED display and an IMU MPU6050
• (hw9) Digital signal processing on heartbeat data - Low and High-pass filters
• (hw10) Neopixel
• (hw11) RPi Pico W
• (hw12) DiffDrive CAD (OnShape)
• (hw14) DC Motor control
• (hw15) Line detection CV - RPi Pico
• (hw16) Line Follower - Embedded systems, CV, PIC32

The following software is necessary:

• MPLAB X IDE (v6.05)
• MPLAB XC32 C-Compiler (v4.21)
• Onshape
• KiCad
• Python3

The PIC32 was preprogrammed with a bootloader (from ME333). We will use a program called nu32utility to send the compiled code to the PIC32 using a virtual serial port. To compile nu32utility you will need gcc. gcc is already on OSX and linux, and can be installed on Windows with mingw.
