Lighting device
|
 1. Introduction
To make the characterization of our biological system we develop a lighting device which can be controlled from a computer. The goal of this device is to create red and infrared pulses of which period and duration are fixed by the user in a computer interface.  The link between computer and the microcontroller is carrying through the serial port. |

2. Printed circuit board
We design the printed circuit board with Kicad a free PCB design tool. You can download Kicad at this address: http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/ Here you can download the PCB file of the circuit:  The following picture explains the different components used:  |

3. Microcontroller software
The microcontroller used is a Microchip pic 18F452 which is easily programmable in C language with MPLAB combined with C18 compiler. Here you can download the hex file of the program: And here are the source files of the soft: |

4. Computer software
We develop the computer software with Microsoft Visual C++. You can download Express version at this address: http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/express/default.aspx The following picture illustrates the software interface:  Here you can download the software: And here are the sources files: |
