8051 Training Kit

Introduction

The purpose of the 8051 Training Lab is to familiarize the student with developing practical applications using the ATMEL AT89C51ED2 series of micro-controllers. AT89C51ED2 is based on the Intel 8051 micro-controller architecture, the most widely used micro-controller system with applications ranging from industrial, medical, home automation to automotive. The 8051 Training Kit consists of the following components:

MicroTRAK Carrier Board
MINI-MAX/51-C2 Microcontroller Board
TB-1 Training Board
PROTO-1 Prototyping Board
8051 I/O Module
LCD242 LCD
KP1-4X4 Keypad
Demo versions of BASCOM51 BASIC Compiler
Demo versions of Micro C Compiler/Linker/Assembler
Micro-IDE Integrated Development Environment/Simulator/Offline Debugger
Full version of SDCC C Compiler (open-source)
Over 70 example projects
Serial downloader
Cables
Adapter
Training Manuals
Lab book

The following external items are required for each training kit station:

Personal Computer (PC) running Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/Vista or Windows 7 (8051 Training Kit will not work with DOS, Windows 3.1 or lower ).
Minimum 16MB memory and 50 MB of available hard disk space.
One available RS232 Serial port ( COM1 through COM8 ). If your PC does not have a serial port, you can use our CBL-USB-COM-1 product to convert USB to RS232.

Getting Started

Log on to Windows before using the 8051 Training Kit. Enter the user name and password that your instructor has given to you before the Lab. Make sure to log out when you are done with the PC at the end of the Lab. Do not share your username or password with anybody.

The programs are written as C and BASIC Language Program files ( with the extension .C or .BAS but they are plain text files ). These C and BASIC Program files are created using Micro-IDE Integrated Development Environment for Windows. You can edit and save programs and download to the Training Board using Micro-IDE.

Creating programs and running them on the Training Board consists of the following steps:

Edit an existing or create a new program using Micro-IDE Program Editor.
Compile the program using Micro-IDE Build Toolkit (C Compiler)
Download the program to the Training Board using Micro-IDE Serial Loader.
Run and debug the program on the Training Board using Micro-IDE Terminal Window.
