Craig E. Steiner AISD Microprocessor Simulator "VB-based application to simulate specialized microprocessor" Back to full resume | PDF version of this page Overview Developed an application that simulated the functions of a specialized microprocessor. The application allowed software to be written for the processor before the microprocessor was complete, or to develop and test software without actually having the physical microprocessor on-hand. This built on the experience I had developing the 8052 Simulator and Pinnacle 52 IDE. Approach Develop an MDI-based environment for all simulations. Create MDI child windows for each of the major sections of the simulation to group similar functions into individual windows. Allow user to view and change the parameters of the simulated microcontroller via the application. Communicate with an underlying Windows DLL which handles the actual simulation of the microprocessor code. This DLL performs the actual simulation and made the status and results available to the VB application via a defined API. Display resulting data in multiple, configurable numerical formats. Simulate an A/D conversion process where data comes from a text file and is passed to the simulation DLL to simulate A/D conversions during execution. Technology Application was written in Visual Basic 6.0. Craig Steiner's Role Sole designer and developer of the VB simulator application. Designed the API between the VB application and the DLL.
