The EZ-MICRO Tutor system provides:

EZ-Micro Main Board and Lab Board

Package includes:

EZ-Micro Tutor main tutorial board from AMS uses the Motorola MC68HC11 microprocessor, monitor EPROM, RAM, serial interface to IBM compatible PC and expansion bus connector serves two important functions: It allows students to communicate with the CPU via a serial interface, and it also works as a boot EPROM, which brings the microprocessor up to a predetermined stage after the power-on sequence.

The 8k bytes of RAM on the main board are used to store the user's program and data variables. The main board also has a serial interface to IBM compatible personal computers. This serial interface allows the user to download commands and programs to main board RAM.

The expansion bus connector on the main board is very important, because it allows the student to connect to several lab projects available from AMS. The student can design his or her own lab project and connect it to the main microprocessor board using wire-wrap board. The additional lab project board allows the student to learn hardware design, as well as software design.

The lab project boards are designed to provide in-depth knowledge of microprocessor hardware and software design. They also give hands-on training in testing, troubleshooting and soldering. The lab project board applications range from Liquid Crystal Display board to motor control board to an introduction to DSP.

Workbook

The informative hands-on training book explains microprocessor design using the Motorola MC68HC11. It explains in detail how the microprocessor works, including its architecture and its addressing modes. It also explains in easy-to-understand language the fundamentals of programming. Every chapter in the workbook ends with questions. This study guide uses the EZ-MICRO Tutor Main Board and Lab Board from AMS.
