dsPIC Blockset

Animation & film explaining blockset usage

• Installation Procedure (Old)
• Compile your first model (Old)
• Log and plot datas from the PIC with Matlab (Old)

• Screencast, from installation to advanced technics of the dsPIC blockset. Realized by Mariano Lizarraga from the Santa Cruz Low-cost UAV GNC System (SLUG) team, (added on April, 28th 2009). Original movie available here

• Autopilote for RC model airplane
• Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) implemented with a dsPIC 30f4012
• Explorer 16 Development Board
• Synchronise PWM and ADC sample time to get an artificial very high sampling rate
• Import Simulink Generated code into MPLAB
• Example for Flex Board: Blinking Led and rs232 data transmition
