I have had hardware for a while now, it is about time I release some firmware that actually runs it.
The first GenPIC code revision is a test and demonstration release. It contains support for one serial port, an LCD character display, user input including the encoder and pushbuttons, the indicator LED’s, timer generation, analog input including onboard temperature readout.
Also included is a serial command interpreter implementing a serial interface usable with any serial terminal. There is also a user interface system with a state setup that provides multiple input screens. This should handle a wide array of basic control capabilities, either using the serial port or through using the LCD screen and the encoder.
The code allows you to exercise many of the basic functions of the hardware and provide a framework on which a real application can be built.
It works, it runs, it looks fairly good. Now time to make something useful with it…
| First code release 11Feb2017 |

There will be additional code releases as this project continues, as always check the GenPIC main post for the latest!
