Oga Alpacino, please re-upload this file.
Just as Oga orex had rightly postulated, it may have been not ...

Urmmm!
Didn't go through all the previous comment but I've got to ask, any provision for big time learners like me. I wish to perfect my skills on MikroC atleast to an extent but I'm clueless on how to go about it.

Anyone here who can be of help :-( :-(

pricelessmr:


MikroC is just a C compiler for microcontroller, meaning that you must know some electronics to appreciate the final response of your codes. I use mikroC strictly for my commercial design. It's about d best C compiler for PIC (my opinion).

Start learning with the help file in compiler documentation. There are also free ebooks to learn from.

I can help you with mikroC learning if u are seriously interested. Ask ur questions here or pm me if u want focused learning.

Luckygurl:


I'm seriously interested.
I just sent you a pm.

pricelessmr:


I saw d evidence but no mail in my box. Ok, send mail to digicompower at gmail dot com

Luckygurl:

Sent! Hope you received it sha.

pricelessmr:

I've replied you.

acorntree:
@luckygurl start with this http://www.mikroe.com/products/view/11/book-pic-microcontrollers/
Or I can send pdf version of the ebook

Introduction To Microcontrollers

Welcome to the wonderful world of microcontrollers. You are reading this thread, because you are interested in the fascinating world of electronics. This document assumes that you have basic ideas about electronics, and are able to build simple electronic projects. Although microcontrollers are hi-tech devices, yet they are extremely easy to use. Once you have mastered the ideology behind and know the procedure to control various devices, a whole range of applications is open to you. Devices which required a large number of components and skillful logic design can now be built with almost no or minimal components. One of the greatest advantages of microcontrollers is that they can reduce the hardware requirements dramatically. The logic which was going to be implemented using a number of devices and components can be replaced by software in microcontrollers. Truly speaking microcontrollers are small, one-chip computers. As opposed to microprocessors, which require a number of peripheral devices, like, memory, I/O etc. Microcontrollers have all the necessary peripheral devices built into it. However the scale is small, memory is limited, so are other features.



Remember Microcontrollers were designed to control small peripheral devices, and as such these applications do not require megabytes of memory or the entire power of your PC. Whatever memory and peripheral devices that have been integrated into the package are enough to handle the job. A large number of microcontroller units are available, each differing in terms of memory available, and the number of peripheral devices integrated on the chip. Therefore once you have mastered, how to use these devices, it then remains a matter of choice for a particular application, which microcontroller to choose. Since basic ideology is same, if you master one chip, it is very easy to migrate to another. Moreover if you tend to stick to one clone, they are all upwards compatible.
In a nutshell we can say that a microcontroller is just an integrated circuit which is programmable. Unlike most other digital ICs, which have a designated function, like NAND gates, Flip-flops, Oscillators, 7 segment display drivers, arithmetic calculators etc. Microcontroller has no designated function. If you have a Microcontroller (MCU) chip in your hand and ask what type of function is it going to do? The answer would be I don't know! It can be used to control a motor, or an LCD display, or a 7 segment LED display, or can perform mathematical calculation, or control an infra-red remote control or what else? This is such a surprise that a single chip can do so much. It is versatile, in a sense that you can get a variety of jobs done by this chip, if properly used.
In order to get a job done by this chip, you need to program it first. This program will control the various I/O lines of the chip, and these I/O lines in turn control the devices like motors, LEDs, Infrared sensors etc.
Thus in order to control a device you need to know, its control structure, for example controlling a simple DC motor is different from a stepping motor, and this in turn is different from servo motor. It is therefore essential before starting an application to understand the control requirements of the device. Then you program the microcontroller accordingly, and this makes a complete application.

Microcontroller Applications

Due to the versatile nature of these chips, they have found applications in almost every electronic device today. Think of any device which seems to be computer controlled, it will have a microcontroller working in it.
For example a microwave oven, has a magnetron gun, which heats the food, a motor which rotates the plate, and a display to show the time and cooking parameters etc. Now on the basis of cooking parameters selected by user, the microcontroller inside will be controlling the plate motor, as well as the magnetron gun, turning them on and off periodically to heat the food.
Think of a temperature regulator in your air-conditioner, the microcontroller is sensing the room temperature and according to the selected options, turns the compressor on or off, and the wind swivel motor on and off. So it has a microcontroller as well.
Think of traffic lights, they have to be turned on and off in a set order, it is easy to make them using logical gates, but what if we need to change the order and timing? A microcontroller can do the job easily.
Think of your car, it has microcontroller sitting in it, which is controlling the fuel injection, monitoring the engine RPM, tyre speed, engine temperature and many other parameters. On the other hand it is controlling the amount of fuel to be given, adjusting the appropriate gears and displaying various engine parameters on screen to driver.
Think of an industrial automation system, where small robotic arms are being used to assemble the product, all this automatic process is being carried out by microcontrollers.
Think of the moving sign-boards on airport terminals, the LEDs in them are being controlled by the microcontroller to display messages.
In short there are literally thousands of applications including cell phones, personal and industrial robots, security systems, data logging systems and what not all have microcontroller application.
So if you are interested in electronics as a hobby, or as a professional, it is mandatory to know how to use microcontrollers.

Having a basic idea of electronics, and programming is all that you need to enter into this fascinating world.
This course will take you from beginning to an intermediate level, where you should be able to design your own applications.

@acontree, I'd love to own a copy of the pdf version of the book. How do we go about it??

A big thanks to all who responded, I won't hesitate calling on y'all whenever I encounter a problem.
