Abstract

This paper describes the development of a microcontroller trainer module for the Embedded System Application course at Politeknik Mukah, using PIC18F45K22. To facilitate the learning process, the module was developed by offering hands-on instruction and practical skills in microcontroller programming. The aim of the proposed trainer module is to expose the student in creating the hardware of embedded system and microcontroller programming. The trainer was designed to produce an output based on the program that will be uploaded into PIC18F45K22 microcontroller. The trainer module was able to be used for practical work and mini projects based on course syllabus. From the proposed trainer module, students were able to demonstrate hardware output of the programming and enhance their knowledge for the DEC40053 Embedded System Application course.
