Now that we have understood the placement of the components lets us begin working with it.
Step 1:
Take out Robotic Kit and connect the male counter part of the serial communication cable to the DB9 connector (CON7) of the kit. The other end of the cable is to be connected to the communication port (Normally COM1) of the PC.
Step 2:
Take the power adaptor and connect the DC Jack connector to the SYSTEM PWR jack on kit. Plug the other end of the connector to the 230v AC mains. If u wants to drive the DC motor you have to take one more power supply, connect the DC Jack to DC MOTOR jack.

Step3.
Once the connections is set up. Turn on the supply you must see power on led glow indicating the proper power supply for the kit.
Step4. Connect the desire motor to the appropriate connector. And follow steps form (HOW TO WRITE THE SOFTWEAR DRIVER USING KEIL IDE) and (HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM USING FLASH MAGIC) for programming and downloading the program to the kit.

HOW TO WRITE THE SOFTWEAR DRIVER USING “KEIL IDE”.
Getting Started. To Run and Download the Program please follows these steps.
Step 1.
Install the Keil Demo Software by running the set up file giving the CD. Open the folder with the name Emb_instl in the CD. Inside the folder you will see the folder with the name Keil double click on it and run the set up. Step 2.
Start µVision
µVision is a standard Windows application and started by clicking on the program icon.
Create a Project File
To create a new project file select from the µVision menu Project – New Project…. This opens a standard Windows dialog that asks you for the new project file name. We suggest that you use a separate folder for each project. You can simply use the icon Create New Folder in this dialog to get a new empty folder. Then select this folder and enter the file name for the new project, i.e. Project1. µVision creates a new project file with the name PROJECT1.UV2 which contains a default target and file group name. You can see these names in the Project Workspace – Files.
Select a Device
When you create a new project µVision ask you to select a CPU for your project. The Select Device dialog box shows the µVision device database. Just select the Microcontroller you use. We are using for our examples the Philips 8xC51RD+ controller. This selection sets necessary tool options for the 8xC51RD+ device and simplifies in this way the tool configuration.
10 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
Note
• You may select the Extended Linker (LX51) and Extended Assembler (AX51) in this dialog. The extended Linker and Assembler is available in the Keil Professional Developer's Kit and gives you additional features such as variable banking or user class names. • When you create a new project, µVision may automatically add the correct device specific CPU startup code for you. • On some devices, the µVision environment needs additional parameters that you have to enter manually. Please carefully read the information provided under Description in this dialog, since it might have additional instructions for the device configuration.
Once you have selected a CPU from the device database you can open the user manuals for that device in the Project Workspace – Books page. These user manuals are part of the Keil Development Tools CD-ROM that should be present in your CD drive.
11 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
Create a new source file
You may create a new source file with the menu option File – New. This opens an empty editor window where you can enter your source code. µVision enables the C color syntax highlighting when you save your file with the dialog File – Save As… under a filename with the extension *.C. We are saving our example file under the name main.c.
Once you have created your source file you can add this file to your project. µVision offers several ways to add source files to a project. For example, you can select the file group in the Project Workspace – Files page and click with the right mouse key to open a local menu. The option Add Files opens the standard files dialog. Select the file MAIN.C you have just created.
12 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
Set Tool Options for Target
µVision lets you set options for your target hardware. The dialog Options for Target opens via the toolbar icon or via the Project - Options for Target menu item. In the Target tab you specify all relevant parameters of your target hardware and the on-chip components of the device you have selected. The following the settings for our example are shown.
13 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
Build Project and Create a HEX File
Typical, the tool settings under Options – Target are all you need to start a new application. You may translate all source files and line the application with a click on the Build Target toolbar icon. When you build an application with syntax errors, µVision will display errors and warning messages in the Output Window – Build page. A double click on a message line opens the source file on the correct location in a µVision editor window.
14 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
Now you may modify existing source code or add new source files to the project. The Build Target toolbar button translates only modified or new source files and generates the executable file. µVision maintains a file dependency list and knows all include files used within a source file. Even the tool options are saved in the file dependency list, so that µVision rebuilds files only when needed. With the Rebuild Target command, all source files are translated, regardless of modifications.
After you have tested your application, it might be required to create an Intel HEX file and to download the application software into the physical device using a Flash programming utility. µVision creates HEX files with each build process when Create HEX file under Options for Target – Output is enabled. The Merge32K Hex file option is available for Code Banking Applications when you have selected the Extended Linker LX51. You may start your Flash programming utility after the make process when you specify the program under the option Run User Program #1.

Once the hex file is created you can download it using another software Flash magic
16 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM USING “FLASH MAGIC”
Kindly follow the following instructions to download .hex file from PC to KIT.
1. Attach RS 232 (Serial cable which is provided along with kit) to the kit and PC’s COM1 port. 2. Power ON the Kit with the Adapter provided. 3. RED Led should turn ON. 4. RUN the Setup of Flash Magic Software. 5. The Setup file is provided in the CD. 6. Open the CD 7. You will see three folders with the name “Emb_Instl” 8. Double Click on the folder named “Emb_instl” 9. You will see various folders and two Setup files with the name Flash Magic. 10. Double Click on Flash Magic 11. Follow the instructions to complete the setup 12. Once setup is completed open the flash magic software. 13. It should look something like this
14. Select the COM Port where you have attached your kit to PC. 15. Usually COM1 Port is the only one, which is available on PC. 16. Select that as in the above picture 17. Select the Baud Rate as 9600 as in the next picture
17 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
18. Once Baud Rate is selected now Select the device ours is 89V51RD2. 19. The device is last in the drop down list as in the next picture.
20. Now tick on Erase all flash block on the right hand side, which you can see in the picture. 21. Now Click on Browse option to select .hex file 22. You will find .hex file in the “robo_prog” folder 23. Select dcmtr.hex file as you can see in the picture below.
18 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
24. Once proper file is selected now tick on Verify after programming as you can see in the above picture 25. Next click on start as soon as you click on start the following message will appear on the screen.
19 P ROLIFIC Embedded Systems
26. Now press the RED Key provided in the Kit.
27. The program will get downloaded. 28. You can see in the above picture at the Bottom left corner there is a message called “Attempting to connect” 29. Once program is getting downloaded the above message will change and finally 30. The message “finished” can be seen there 31. Once finished now again click on RED key in the KIT to see the output of the program.
So now you are ready to explore all new world of programming Micro-controller and understanding Embedded Systems.
