GH22-13 Install XBasic 5

XB Go to xbasic.sourceforge.net, download xbasic-6.2.3.exe, and install it.
GF3-13 Guess a Number - A 10 XB First see how Age in 10 Years, version A works, then write Guess a Number, vers. A.
GF3-14 Guess a Number - B 10 XB First see how Age in 10 Years, version B works, then write Guess a Number, vers. B.
GF3-16 Guess a Number - C 10 XB First see how Age in 10 Years, version C works, then write Guess a Number, vers. C.
GH28-9 Download XCSB and PIC software 20

XC Directions for downloading XCSB and PIC software.
GF4-14 Intro to PIC microcontroller XB, XC
GI5-17 2-input OR gate 15 XB Modify the AND-gate program contained in the XBasic template to create  a 2-input OR gate.
GI5-18 2-input NOR gate 10 XB Make a 2-input NOR gate.
GI5-19 2-input NAND gate 10 XB Make a 2-input NAND gate.
GI5-20 3-input AND gate 15 XB Make a 3-input AND gate. (Hint: You'll need three IF statements)
HB29-10 Delay function -- 2-29 XC Download the program and understand it so you'll be able to answer questions about it if it shows up on a quiz.
HB29-11 Variable delay function -- 2-29 XC Download the program and understand it so you'll be able to answer questions about it if it shows up on a quiz.
HB29-12 Two tones 15 2-29 XC Modify the HB29-11 program so that it produces two different tones when you have switch 0 on or off. You'll need to connect a speaker to output line 0.
HB29-13 Five tones 15 2-29 XC Modify the HB29-12 program so that input switches zero through five will produce five different tones when they are turned on.
gi26-17 Sounds 20 XC Modify this program so that switches 0, 1, and 2 produce different frequencies.
gj10-01 Controlling 2 motors 20 XC Directions.
gj03-14 Timer functions 5 XC Demo. Right click here to download the file.
gj03-16 Switches & Delays 15 XC Modify the gj03-14 program to be like the flowchart on the gj03-16 handout..
gj08-16 Two Motors Using Improved Delays 15 XC Directions.
gj10-18 RS Flip-Flop 20 XC XB Get handout sheet.
gj17-17 Toggle Flip-Flop 10 XC Get handout sheet.
gj22-16 D Flip-Flop 10 XC Get handout sheet.
gj22-18 Two motors connected to D flip-flop 10 XC Directions.
gj24-15 Tone translator input processor 10 XC Get handout sheet.
gj24-19 Toggle flip-flop connected to real square wave generator 10 XC
  1. Load the toggle flip-flop program (gj17-17) into a PIC board.
  2. Get the PIC-board schematic and assembly drawing.
  3. Run a one-to-one ribbon cable from J1 on the PIC board to one of the white breadboards.
  4. For the remaining steps, make your connections on the white breadboard.
  5. Get a function generator, and be sure it's turned off.
  6. Connect the ground of the function generator to ground on the PIC board.
  7. Connect the TTL output of the function generator to PIC-board input switch 0 (RA0).
  8. Also, connect channel 1 on a scope to input switch 0.
  9. Connect scope channel 2 to output line 0 (RB0).
  10. Turn on the function generator, and set it to square waves at 1 kHz.
  11. Channel 2 should have half the frequency of channel 1. The jitter in the waveform on channel 2 is normal, and is a result of the program sometimes catching the square wave right when it changes and sometimes catching it a little after.
