This package is combined with Logic Design on one CD
Program the board simulations shown below ON SCREEN
All, except Greenhouse, are compatible
with Acorn ™ computer parallel user ports.
Traffic Lights
Greenhouse-temperature control
7 segment LED
8 Lights
Clock on card-5 bit (reads the holes in the card)
Card Reader... 10 bit (requires multiplexing)
Switches to control lights via the computer
2 digit counter
Motor Control
3 digit UP/DOWN counter
16 Lights from an 8 bit port (requires a 1 of 16 decoder)
Twin dice-roll one or both-then read the numbers
Dial-count the pulses from a telephone dial
This CD supplies interactive programs that enable you to program (on screen) the various simulation interfaces that are shown above.
The simulations all (except Greenhouse and 2 digit counter)
accurately mimic real devices that have been built and tested.
The programming involves inserting numbers (numeric control) into the simulated
user port. This is connected to the relevant simulated device in order to control it.
Programs you write can be SAVED and LOADED.
Answers are supplied and can be loaded from disc.
Programs can be single stepped (executed one instruction at a time for debugging purposes)
or RUN in the normal manner (at full speed).
The speed of execution can be altered-even when the program is running!
Editing features are supplied to make it easy to alter the program.
Comes with a 64 page manual (Word™ document) on CD
As well as learning how the integrated circuits work you will also encounter the programming techniques listed below:-
Loops: To repeat a set of instructions a given number of times.
Nested loops: One loop inside another.
If...Then: A control statement that allows different actions depending on a given condition.
