This tutorial explains how to read the content of the microcontroller `s flash memory. The source microcontroller reads the content of the memory and displays it on the LED s. The content is nothing but the program written in the memory of microcontroller. This step is often used to verify whether microcontroller has been correctly programmed or n

ot. If the values which are read from a memory location are same as the one which needs to be written at this particular memory location, then the microcontroller has been programmed correctly. If there is any mismatch, it means microcontroller has not been programmed correctly. The reader should know the basics of sending and receiving the single byte in programming mode. Refer to 8051 Programmer basics before reading this tutorial. In this mode the values are read one by one. You need to send the address of the memory location in every instruction whose value is to be fetched. The microcontroller in return sends the value which is stored on this location. The first byte of the instruction signifies memory read operation (byte mode). The second and third byte tells the address of the memory location. Some bits of the second byte are don`t care. This is because the maximum size of flash memory for this family is 8K and in order to address the last memory location a maximum of 13 bits is required. The target controller returns the value corresponding to the address during the fourth byte. The memory of the microcontroller is arranged in form of pages. Every page contains 256 bytes arranged in 16 rows and 16 columns. In this mode, a chunk of 256 bytes is read in one read instruction. The second byte of the instruction sends the address of the page to be read. The target microcontroller in return sends 256 consecutive bytes...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
