The Explore Ultra 8051 Kit comes with all the things required, not just for this experiment but for the entire series. The base board is fully open, no peripheral is directly connected to the MCU breakout board. You may connect any peripheral to any port/pin you wish. The kit is fully open source, you may use the schematics, the design files and all of the source code and build something cool on your own.  And when you do that do not forget to share with us what you've done. We would be happy to see you building something cool.

=====Introduction=====
+
−
There are various software and hardware tools required to get started with the 8051 micrcontroller. In this tutorial we will discuss, how you can set them up and get going.
+
  
−
=====Software Tools=====
+
The story of the Ultra Kit does not end here, we have even made the code libraries for all major 8-bit microcontrollers modular. It means you can simple upgrade or even switch your project to a different microcontroller/architecture without changing your application code. The kit ships with all the additional stuff mentioned below to get you started; kickstart your embedded development. What are you waiting for?
−
Following software tools are required before proceeding with the 8051 tutorials.
+
−
1. Compiler and Integrated Development Environment(IDE): We will be using  Kiel in all the  tutorials. A Evaluation version of the software can be downloaded [https://www.keil.com/c51/demo/eval/c51.htm here.]
+
−
2. Programmer Software: Used to transfer hex file from computer to micrcontroller; Flash Magic, can be downloaded [http://www.flashmagictool.com/ here]
+
  
−
=====Development Boards=====
+
Kit Contents:
−
Each of the hardware interfacing tutorials, may require varied hardware setup. We recommend you to choose a platform on which you can test and develop a number of peripheral. From Xplore Labz we recommend you the [http://xplorelabz.com/product_details.php?sel_prod=10 ULTRA_X51] development board. Or if you're low on budget you could go for [http://xplorelabz.com/product_details.php?sel_prod=6 STARTER_X51] and request for additional peripherals as required. Having said that you could implement hardware on your own for all the tutorials; only ensure that you've thoroughly verified the schematics with the ones mentioned in the tutorials."

Explore ULTRA PIC Development Board with following Modules, ICs and Interfaces:
−
=====Creating a Project=====
+
#USB Communication with CP2102
−
Assuming you have installed Kiel, let us proceed with creating a project. We have developed a [[8051_Family_C_Library|library]] of commonly used functions for most of the standard peripherals for the 8051 microcontroller family. This will be required in most of the tutorials. We would be required to import the required library files in each of the tutorials.It can be downloaded [http://xplorelabz.com/uploads/product_sample_code/Ultra_X51_SampleCode.zip here] Hence you could refer to the step by step procedure below:
+
#Eight 5mm LEDs
 +
#Eight Switches in DIP package
 +
#LCD 16x2
 +
#Four Seven Segment Displays
 +
#ADC 0808 with 555 timer for sampling frequency
 +
#POT for ADC
 +
#Light Sensor(LDR).
 +
#Temperature sensor(LM35).
 +
#Two Relays for Switching AC devices.
 +
#4x4 Keypad.
 +
#L293D Motor Driver for DC and Stepper Motors.
 +
#DS1307 based Real Time Clock.
 +
#AT2404 EEPROM.
 +
#USB cable.
 +
#Power Adapter
 +
#Single wire female connectors. <br><br>

The story of the Ultra Kit does not end here, we have even made the code libraries for all major 8-bit microcontrollers modular. It means you can simple upgrade or even switch your project to a different microcontroller/architecture without changing your application code. The kit ships with all the additional stuff mentioned below to get you started; kickstart your embedded development. What are you waiting for?
