The Explore Ultra PIC Kit comes with all the things required, not just for this experiment but for the entire series. And even if you think of migrating to PIC or Arduino, you'll have breakout boards that fit on to this, hence we believe it is a great investment for learning hands on Embedded Systems. 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 latest version of Ultra PIC dev kit is modular  in both hardware and software.  The kit comprises of the Ultra One Base Board and PIC breakout board as the main components.
−
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=====
+
The PIC breakout board comes with 16F877A, however  you may use any other 40 pin PIC MCUs like the 18F4550. The 16F877A comes with a UART bootloader hence no external programmer is required.
−
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."
+
−
=====Creating a Project=====
+
−
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:

+
The Ultra One baseboard can additionally be used with  several AVR, 8051 and Arduino Microcontrollers, we beleive this kit to is a solid gate way to Embedded Systems. This is not it, even the USB to Serial Convertor on board is moduler, you can take it off and use it any of the other projects. 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.

'''Step 1:''' ''Open the Keil software and select the New Microvision project from Project Menu as shown below.''
+
−
[[File:1Microvision_Project.png|720x480px]]
+
  
−
'''Step 2:''' ''Browse to your project folder and provide the project name and click on save.''
+
The newer version also supports 128x64 Graphics display as well as 128x64 OLED display. 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 you're embedded development. What are you waiting for?
