8-Bit PIC MCU GPIO

The document outlines the process and requirements for a training program focused on developing a custom LoRaWAN demo application using the SAMR34 Module. Key tasks include evaluating the SAMR34'

8-Bit PIC MCU GPIO

Requirements

Coaching Interview 1. Gather top-level project constraints.


Interview SME and sponsor to fill in each of the requested constraints.

Major Tasks

What are the major engineering tasks required in order to accomplish the Job Outcome?


For a Job Outcome of "Custom LoRaWAN demo application using the SAMR34 Module", we could have the following tasks:


Schmitt Trigger and Input Threshold Control Register
Overview of MCC Melody Libraries

Implementation and Delivery Constraints

Course Type (Lecture-Only, Hands-On)?

Course Duration (Hours)? 

Number of instructors required?

No Q/A sessions after class
Online Recorded Demos
Online Videos

Target Audience

Who are the major audience groups the training is targeted to?

Expected background knowledge and experience level?

Familiar with typical Electronic Tools (Oscilloscope, Volt Meter, Etc.)
Familiar with Microchip Development Tools including Microchip Nano Module
Familiar with MPLAB X and MCC Melody
Some Embedded C language Knowledge
Limited Embedded Control Design Knowledge
Limited knowledge of the Microchip PIC18 Architecture (Oscillator, Reset Circuitry, Programming Configurations, etc.)

Major Job Outcome

What will Attendees be able to produce or accomplish back on the job after taking this training? State it as a noun-phrase, for example:


"Customized LoRaWAN demo application using the SAMR34 Module"

At the end of this training the student will be able to setup I/O ports on Microchip PIC MCU devices for digital inputs (Sensors), Digital Outputs (Indicators) using the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) Melody Libraries.

8-Bit PIC MCU GPIO



This Class will cover all the features associated with the GPIO module in the 8-Bit PIC MCU Family. There will be Demonstrations to show how to set up the Peripheral for types of inputs and outputs. There will be discussions on where certain features will be useful in real world examples. And also cover common pitfalls you may encounter with GPIO.

Course Outline

Coaching Interview 3. Develop a Course Outline


From the Job/Task analysis, group content together into chapters and name the chapters.


"Knowledge" (Concept/Fact/Principle) bubbles map to "Lessons"

"Procedure" bubbles map to "Lab Exercises" or "Quizzes" or other hands-on activities.


Typically, a 1:1 relationship exists between Major Tasks and Chapters. However, you are free to group knowledge and procedures from several different Tasks into the same Chapter in the course outline.


When finished, the TTE will produce a course outline in word format that captures this structure.
