Re: using dsPIC33f
Hi angelita(baby Angel)
Try to get Proteus Simulator (ISIS).The Dspic33f family is supported.There are several examples .Proteus is the only mix signal(Analog& digital) simulator with support for those Dspics.You also need to download MPLAB from the Microchip web site .And you will need a C compiler .Try to get C30 from microchip too ( maybe a demo version).Now you can write some code and simulate it in proteus .Maybe turn on some LEDs when you push a switch etc. Or learn how to use a LCD ..Proteus allows you to do complex virtual designs .Once they work in simulation you can buy the real components and buil the actual prototype.Now to do Dsp algorithms everybody know that Matlab is the most used tool .Well once again you are lucky that i'm so good(really!) .There is at the Microchip website a Dspic Toolbox for matlab .It allows you to produce code very quick .Like to initialize those Dspics that are very complex ,a lot of registers .
Also you not only need the Datasheet .But the complete dspic manual .You can download it from the Microchip site .Is available by chapters .So download it as you need it .Because the manual is for all the parts .You will also need the datasheet for the particuliar chip you will be using .Some of the registers are different.
That's it .Follow all what i said and you will be ahead.!
