Overview of Course 2
Course 2 Objective Course 2 assumes the learner already has a general knowledge of
using PicoSoft Pro. If this is not the case, please go through Course 1
first.
The exercises in Course 2 primarily describe how to create a project
for Pico GFX-70 devices. However, users of other Pico controllers can
also take part in this course to get acquainted with the wide range of
functions available with the Pico GFX-70 devices.
The course consists of two additional lessons. Lesson 4 covers a
project using a Pico GFX-70 device as a stand-alone device. It will
show you how to wire up function blocks, explain the function block
diagram and circuit diagram, as well as showing how to simulate
function blocks.
Lesson 5 primarily deals with creating projects containing several
Pico GFX-70 devices. These devices can be connected up via the
“Pico-Link” intraconnect, enabling them to communicate with each
other. The lesson shows you how to create this kind of master-slave
project, how to configure it and how to download several programs to
the individual devices, and also describes program uploads and the
status display in PicoSoft Pro.
Take some time to go through this course as well. It will explain
simply and clearly how to create Pico GFX-70 projects and will
provide the answers to a large number of questions from the start.
