Programming 16-Bit PIC Microcontrollers in C: Learning to Fly the PIC 24

Chapter 15: Volare

Overview

The last flight, the check-ride with the FAA examiner, is a time of great tension and a little fear. It is a flight meant to summarize all the phases of flight, where you are asked to put all the knowledge you gained during the training into practice. Don't worry it will be easy because you are at the peak of your preparation and it will be over so fast that you won't have time to realize it.

Just as in a final check-ride, this last lesson will use many of the building blocks developed in the previous lessons and will put them to practical use to develop a new and entertaining demo project: a media player.

Congratulations, you are a pilot now. It is time to celebrate and sing!

NEL BLU DIPINTO DI BLU

Italy 1958 / Domenico Modugno

Written by Franco Migliacci & Domenico Modugno

Penso che un sogno cos non ritorni mai pi :

Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu

Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito

E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito

Volare, oh cantare, oh

The lyrics are in Italian. The title translates to "In The Blue (Sky), Painted in Blue"("Volare": to fly). Modugno cowrote it with Franco Migliacci after Modugno described a man's dream of flying through the air with his face and hands painted in blue.

Flight Plan

In this lesson we will explore the possibility of producing audio signals using, once more, the Output Compare modules of the PIC24.
