The book Programming and Customizing the HC11 Microcontroller was published by McGraw-Hill in 2000 and written by Tom Fox. As its title indicates, the primary subject is the HC11 series of microcontrollers. The book starts off simply and then rapidly introduces Motorola Semiconductor's (Now Freescale Semiconductor Inc.) MC68HC11A1P microcontroller, which is perfect for those who want to start to learn about microcontrollers through a hands-on way. In the book, the author then goes on to give detailed description on how to build Mag-11, a HC11 based single-board computer that was designed primarily as a learning tool although it can be used in a multitude of practical applications. The next project in the book is MagPro-11 whose primary purpose is as an EEPROM programmer for the MC68HCA1FN microcontroller. However, since MagPro-11 uses the BUFFALO monitor it also is perfect for those who want to learn how to write software/firmware for the HC11 series. The third project in the book is MagTroll-11 which is a low-cost controller board which uses the MC68HC11A1FC's internal EEPROM as the storage place for the MCUs instructions. The last project in the book is a unique and revoltionary solid-state wind direction indicator which makes use of the microcontrollers internal intelligence to figure out which way the wind is blowing. As far as the author knows, this was the first accurate wind direction indicator that had no moving parts.

Changes and More Changes

While Programming and Customizing the HC11 Microcontroller was published just 7 short years ago, there have been a number of changes. First, Motorola spun off its semiconductor division in 2004 and Freescale Semiconductor Inc. was created. In late 2006 Freescale was purchased by the Blackstone Group but it still retains its Freescale name. Perhaps more importantly here, Freescale has replaced its 68HC11A series of MCUs with the 68HC11E series. As you may know, Programming and Customizing the HC11 Microcontroller was based on the original HC11 series, which was the 68HC11A series. Happily, however, the 68HC11E series chips will work in the projects with only very minor changes in circuitry and software. Also, Freescale has put out an Engineering Bulletin (EB193) to show how to convert from the A series to the E series. This bulletin is available in pdf format. Click Here to download this file. You also might want to download the Technical Book for the E series. if so, Click Here to download the M68HC11E manual in pdf format.

Kit/Part Description	Price Each
SORRY KITS ARE SOLD OUT!! Mag-11 Single-Board HC11 Based Microcontroller Trainer KIT Magicland Electronics’ Mag-11 was designed around the MC68HC11A1P 48-pin DIP chip since this is the easiest HC11 to experiment with, primarily because of its relatively large size and ease of use in a solderless breadboard. In 2000, the A series of HC11's was replaced with the E series. Because of this, Magicland Electronics now uses the MC68HC11E1CP2 in its Mag-11. The differences between the two series are minor and any necessary changes are included in both the circuit board and documentation that comes with the kit. Also see Freescales' EB193 manual on changing over from the A series to the E series. Mag-11's main purpose is as a learning tool. Mag-11's HC11 communicates with the outside world primarily through: 9 LED's, which are used as output data indicators, 12 switches (one 4-position dip switch and one 8-position dip switch), which switch),which are used as inputs, one RS-232 interface and one thermistor, which is used to input temperature data. In addition, all pertinent MCU data, address, control and i/o lines are accessible through four 20 pin sockets (also referred to as headers) . Note: The kit is now shipped with the MC68HC11E1CP2 .
