Interactive PIC simulates the behaviour of a PIC microcontroller, control board and PIC programmer and contains a programming language.
Interactive PIC is suitable for Key Stages 3 & 4 in Design & Technology.
Students write programs using the built in editor and download their programs to the virtual programmer and PIC. Once the PIC is programmed the virtual PIC is moved to a virtual control board, which contains 5 inputs and 8 outputs.
Students can connect virtual components to the board, such as proximity, light, push and tilt switches.
Output components simulated include a motor, buzzer, bulb and red,yellow,green l.e.ds.Programs are able to control each output of the virtual control board and respond to mouse clicks from input components, like push switches, l.d.r's etc. Buzzers sound and Motors turn when switched on.The language contains all the features you would expect in a powerful modern control language.Decision making using IF. Loops using REPEAT or WHILE. Wait periods with the WAIT command.
Switching on output lines is easy SWITCH ON 3 or SWITCH ON ALL.
Procedures are easily incorporated into programs.
Projects can be saved and programs printed.
