Protues Software
The
software that used in this project is Proteus VSM. This software that animated
components and microprocessor models to facilitate co-simulation of complete
microcontroller based design. The most important using the Proteus VSM is its
ability to simulate the interaction between software running on a
microcontroller and any analog or digital electronics connected to it. Furthermore,
we need to convert the energy into electricity to charge the battery by using
the voltage comparator. Besides that, in this software it has many components
compare to other software.
MPLAB IDE
Then,
others software that use in this project is MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment (IDE). It is an integrated toolset for the development of embedded
applications employing Microchip’s PIC and dsPIC microcontroller. It is serves
as a single, unified graphical user interface for additional Microchip and
third party software and hardware development tools.
For
our project, we use PIC16F877A as our microcontroller. In this coding, we use C
compiler. In this software, it suitable because C compiler is included into
MPLAB IDE functions. Furthermore, before run the project, we must download the
coding into microcontroller. By using this software, we can create the program,
enter and assemble, then download the program. After that, run the program and
simulate it.
