Plataforma de programação para microcontrolador PIC através de aplicativo Android

Abstract

In this paper we present the equipment, tools and procedures used in the development of a programming platform for microcontrollers through the use of a mobile app. The paper is divided in a mobile app and a microcontrolled platform operating on a in-house firmware, prepared to receive data from the app through a particular sequence of Bluetooth messages also described in the paper. The microcontrolled platform developed is apt to operate based on the information contained in an operation flowchart created by the user through the use of the app’s graphical user interface, where each block in the flowchart corresponds to a specific functionality of microcontrolled platform pre-programmed in the microcontroller. This paper has as objective to establish a programming environment that is both accessible and easy to understand, leaving most of the set-up difficulties associated with microcontroller programming up to the platform
