Anglia is holding FREE one day Technical Training Classes at Orton Hall Hotel in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. These classes will focus on specific applications on separate days, one of which will be wireless Ethernet to complement the recent acquisition of ZeroG wireless.

Please check back as courses are being added all the time. See details below:

15th July - Designing a USB Embedded Host Application (COM3202)

Does your application need to attach to a USB device such as a thumb drive, or a mouse? Does your device need to be a USB device during some parts of operation and a host during other parts of operation? The USB On-The-Go (OTG) Supplement was designed to allow embedded devices with substantially less resources than a PC to become hosts to other USB devices.

Learn about the different USB hosting options and how these decisions affect your designs electrically and mechanically. You will learn about the FAT file system library and how to manipulate files on a thumb drive, enabling data-logging and field firmware updates via thumb drive. Finally, you will learn the process for developing a generic (custom class) driver and application that acts as a host to a simple USB device.

16th September - (Designing with Microchip’s Graphics Library)

This hands on class will teach students how to harness the power of Microchip’s Graphics Library to decrease the development time of sophisticated human interfaces using graphical LCD display technologies with various input devices. During the hands on portion of this class, students will use the Microchip Graphics Library, the Explorer 16 development board and the Graphics PICtail Plus Daughter board to implement a real life application. Although the class will be taught using a PIC24, the concepts directly apply to the PIC32 as well.

Recommended Prior Knowledge:
A strong knowledge of the C Programming Language, specifically the use of structures and pointers.

18th November - Designing TCP/IP Monitor and Control Applications (COM4201)

This class delivers a complete design example of a TCP/IP control and status monitoring application. The information presented can be applied to designs using 1) Microchip’s MAC/PHY transceiver devices and/or 2) Microchip’s PIC18 microcontrollers with a built-in transceiver.

Communication concepts are introduced from the interfaces of the foundation (ARP, IP, DHCP, DNS, etc.) and application layers (SMTP, SNMP, etc.). PHY layer fundamental characteristics are also discussed. Details of the API commands for TCP, HTTP and file system protocols are explained.

The student upon completion of the class should know how to modify the Microchip stack firmware with their application requirements. This class highlights the cross-platform compatibility of Microchip’s TCP/IP stack by allowing attendees to implement the application during class on the platform of their choice: PIC18, PIC24 or PIC32 MCUs.

Each class will benefit design engineers who can invest one day with industry professionals where full hands-on training will be provided. All attendees will be given a discount voucher to assist with product purchasing. Lunch and refreshments will be offered throughout the sessions.

With limited spaces available, early request is essential.
