PIC Library The PIC Library is a custom library of Simulink blocks (in the form of s-functions) thatinterface with sensors and actuators connected to the PIC microcontroller. The following blocksare currently included in the PIC library: ADC, PinStateIn, PWM, and PinStateOut. Moreover,the library includes a block labeled IOBlock that is required in all user-designed Simulinkdiagrams to enable serial communication between the PIC microcontroller and Matlab.Hardware settings and parameter requirements of each block are detailed below. ADC Block (see Figure 4) configures the analog to digital conversion module of the PICmicrocontroller. Note that five of the six I/O pins of port A and three I/O pins of

Once phase-lock is established the PreLock signal is forced low, instructing the Page 13.462.11register (Reg.) by means of the control logic (Cntl) to load only near the center of each symbol.Each symbol is sampled N s times, to produce one estimate of the phase error between the localclock and that corresponding to the received data. With a 50MHz system clock, to produce a1Mbps symbol rate the signaling speed is actually 2Mbs. It is convenient to sample the input at50MHz so that each symbol is sampled 50 times. FlipFlop

In addition, as with theconductivity sensor equation, this inverted calibration equation must be adjusted to work with theinteger values provided by the Basic Stamp controller.

quickly,compared to one with slow convergence. The problem only needs to be solved once so there islittle benefit to choosing a technique whose iterative process starts easily. In fact, there is no needto use any of the numerical methods covered by the textbook. Students may use a plottingpackage to solve it graphically. They may perform a manual search by punching numbers into apocket calculator. They may find a canned routine that generates the root(s) without requiringany thought at all.In the gear shifting problem, choice of root finding technique is critically important. Forexample, any technique that requires a derivative is doomed to fail: differentiation of discretelysampled data is inherently noisy. Furthermore, students need a technique

submission’s time. Note that this time may be anunderestimate, as the time doesn’t include the time the student spent reading the instructions anddeveloping the first submission. If two successive submissions are separated by at least 10minutes, we assume the student was perhaps taking a break (this is not a perfect measure but thebest we can do as we cannot directly observe the student), and thus we exclude that time fromthe total time. For every student (two are shown in Figure 2), such total time is computed. Wethen compute the average of the shortest 20% of such times to yield the baseline time. The sameapproach is done for the number of attempts per student. Figure 2: Definition of struggle rate for a particular CA.Figure 2’s

From the programmer’s pointof view nod4 has the following CPU registers • A – accumulator • C – condition code register (Z,C,I) and IID • S – stack pointer • X – index register • PC – program address counterThe A register is primarily for handling data. The C register contains the zero flag (Z),carry/borrow flag (C), and the interrupt enable flag (I). The lower five C register bitsstore the ID for an interrupting device (IID). The stack pointer maintains the stack datastructure. The X register is a fairly general purpose index register. The program counter(PC
