Compiler
We will be using CCS PICC
Built-in RTOS library
Has a time-driven (variant of cyclic) scheduler for RT-task

scheduling
Supports multi-tasking and delay functions
Non-preemptive scheduler in nature
User friendly
Built-in functions for I/Os
Support for standard C functions e.g. printf , scanf , etc.

Softwares Needed
PIC-C Programming Environment
MikroProg Suite to program the PIC18F452
Hyper Terminal for serial output on Windows
Make sure all of them are installed on the PC where you are working
If not get them from the TAs

Run all those SWs as administrator

Dont login using your ID, use EELAB ID
