Task 1 - Project Creation

• Open Atmel Studio 7
• Select File > New > Project
• Select GCC C Executable Project and give it the name Project1
• Choose a location to save the project on your computer

• The Device Selection window will appear. In the search bar enter 328P, then select the device Atmega328PB and click OK.

Task 2 - Main.c

This project reads the internal temperature sensor, converts the result to degrees centigrade, then stores the result in ADC Temperature Result.

1) The main.c file is where the application code is added. The project has a main.c file already created but it only contains a while(1) statement. Modify main.c by entering the lines in the gray code block below.

unsigned int Ctemp;
unsigned int Ftemp;

int main(void)
{

    /* Setup ADC to use int 1.1V reference 
    and select temp sensor channel */
    ADMUX = (1<<REFS1) | (1<<REFS0) | (0<<ADLAR) | (1<<MUX3) | (0<<MUX2) | (0<<MUX1) | (0<<MUX0);

    /* Set conversion time to 
    112usec = [(1/(8Mhz / 64)) * (14 ADC clocks  per conversion)]
     and enable the ADC*/
    ADCSRA = (1<<ADPS2) | (1<<ADPS1) | (1<<ADEN);

    /* Perform Dummy Conversion to complete ADC init */
    ADCSRA |= (1<<ADSC);

    /* wait for conversion to complete */
    while ((ADCSRA & (1<<ADSC)) != 0);

    /* Scan for changes on A/D input pin in an infinite loop */
    while(1)
    {
        /* start a new conversion on channel 8 */
        ADCSRA |= (1<<ADSC);

        /* wait for conversion to complete */
        while ((ADCSRA & (1<<ADSC)) != 0)
        ;

        /* Calculate the temperature in C */
        Ctemp = (ADC - 247)/1.22;
        Ftemp = (Ctemp * 1.8) + 32;
    }

    return -1;

}

Task 3 - Build Project

• Select Build > Build Solution from the Studio 7 menu to compile the code. You will see a Build Succeeded message in the output window. If there are any errors, check main.c for any mistakes in entering the program code.

Task 4 - Programming the Xplained Board

• Connect the Xplained board to the USB port of the computer using the included cable.
• In the Solution Explorer area, right-click on the project name and select Properties.

• Under the Tool menu selection, choose the mEDBG and debugWire as the interface.

• Select Debug > Start Without Debugging from the Studio 7 menu. The project will build and then program the xplained board with the project code along with debug control.

• Studio 7 will show a Ready message when the programming is complete.

Task 5 - Debugging

Debugging a device is essential for determining how a program may be running.

• Select Debug > Start Debugging and Break. The project will build and the program will be loaded into the Xplained board
• The I/O View window will open up showing the various peripherals
• Click on the ADC selection to open the I/O view for the ADC

• Select Debug > Step Over (F10) to single-step through the program on the Xplained board. Monitor the ADC registers in the I/O View while single-stepping

Task 6 - Breakpoint and Output

• Click on the Debug > Break All from the top menu of Studio 7
• Click on the margin to enable a breakpoint on the command line at the ADCSRA statement within the While loop

• Move the mouse over the breakpoint red circle, to be able to see the setting pop-up option (gear symbol) and click on it

• Inside the Breakpoint Setting Window, check the Actions box. Inside the “Log a message to Output Window” insert the following: Temperature in C = {Ctemp} and check the Continue execution box. Click on Close
• Enter Debug mode by clicking on Start Debugging and Break in the top Debug menu
• Open the Output Window by selecting Debug > Windows > Output to see the value of the temperature variable
• Click on Debug > Continue and view the temperature in the Output window

Task 7 - Disable debugWIRE and Close

The debugWire fuse needs to be reset in order to program the Xplained board in the future. While still running in debug mode select Debug > Disable debugWire and Close. This will release the debugWire fuse.
