MPLAB SIMULATION

MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a comprehensive editor, project manager and design desktop for application development of embedded designs using Microchip PICmicro and dsPIC microcontrollers. IT is product of Microchip Inc. and is an effort to make source code development as smooth and comprehensive as possible. It is called an Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, because it provides a single integrated “environment” to develop code for embedded microcontrollers.

            In the development of programming aspect, the MPLab are used to write down all the source code and coding for smart car instruction. Figure 1 shows how the MPLab software would appear on the desktop. All the source codes are written down into this software are would be built.

In addition, the source code will be built and the output of the successfully source code will appear through the window as shown in Figure 2. The successful output will create hex file (.hex) that needed to burn the programmer or instruction into pic microcontroller.
