Instructions are given on that picture। Position of 1uf capacitor & where to connect 470 ohm resistor etc. Be careful about that 1uf capacitor should be at least 20 volt and polar. During soldering you should be careful about [ +/- ] position .
The pcb design has been provided in the Download Link given below .

Next time in future i will show how to make PCB at home Inshaallah. Now I am describing about  how to use it.

PORT A:
Pin A0-> for LM35 [it is static and final, you cannot change it]
Pin A1->for  another adc input[]
From A2 to A5 for 4 push button , those will work with logical 0 .
[These pins are always remaining with +5v ]
nk
PORT B : B7 to B2  for LCD Display ।
LCD Configuration:

sbit LCD_RS at LATB7_bit;
sbit LCD_EN at LATB6_bit;
sbit LCD_D4 at LATB5_bit;
sbit LCD_D5 at LATB4_bit;
sbit LCD_D6 at LATB3_bit;
sbit LCD_D7 at LATB2_bit;
//////////////////////////////////////////////
Pin B1 and Pin B0 are connected with two LED .Where each led's +end is connected with  microcontroller.[If microcontroller provide '1' , Led will be ON and during 0 ,it will remain OFF]
You have to write code according to this configuration .

Usb Communication With PIC Microcontroller [step by step tutorial]

mikroc usb tutorial

USB communication is better than serial communication. Hardware interfacing is very easier than Rs 232 . In USB 1.0 communication  Low Speed is-1.5Mbit/second  & High Speed is -12Mbit/second . The upgrade version provides more speed than older version. USB-3.0  has higher speed, 5Gbit/second and it's called super speed. For more information you can visit this page >>  Wikipedia Usb.

In this tutorial I will use pic18f2550 microcontroller & it is very popular for usb. Now you can ask a question, how do we get our MCU to work with high speed or low seed ?
At 6MHz clock we will get low speed and at 48MHz Clock we will get High speed. In this tutorial we will try to make higher speed connection. We are not going to use 48MHz clock, because it is very noisy. We will try another technique instead of it. Microchip company provides internal PLL( Phase Locked Loop ) circuit  in some of specific  products and  pic18f2550 has internal PLL Circuit. Now look at the picture :

PLL Circuit

The PLL circuit  converts 4MHz clock to 48MHz clock. So, we need 4MHz clock. We have to divide the clock in such way so that we can get  result 4MHz. Look at here, If we use 20MHz divide it by 5 and we get 4. Example : (20/5)=4 ,(12/3)=4. We have to define this in the  source code.

Now let's create a project in Proteus 8.

Step 6:

USB Communication With PIC Microcontroller

1. As we know PLL circuit takes input 4MHz clock. So we have to divide 12MHz by 3 so that we can get 4MHz clock. If we use 4MHz we have no need  this part .
2 & 3 . We are using USB 1.0 and it's High Speed clock 48MHz. So we have to devide it by 2.

4 . Here we are using 12MHz Crystal clock and the oscillator selection should be HS Oscillator.          

5 . We have to enable voltage regulator. Basically it is an internal  3.3 voltage regulator of pic18f2550. If we enable this, it is required to connect vusb pin with a 220 nf capacitor.

#Source Code :

 

unsigned char receivedata[64] absolute 0x500;  //  <--Variable Declaration  
 unsigned char senddata[64] absolute 0x580;  
 int i=0;  
 void Interrupt(){  
 USB_Interrupt_Proc();    //<--Interrupt function  
 }  
 void main()   //<--The Main Function  
 {  
 HID_Enable(&receivedata,&senddata);  //<--To Enable HID  
 while(1){             //<-- Infinity LOOP  
 while(!HID_Read());   //<--for reading  
 for(i=0;i<64;i++){  
 senddata[i]=receivedata[i];   //<--Sending received data to senddata[i] variable  
 }  
 while(!HID_Write(&senddata,64)); //<--for writting  
 }  
 }  

1. unsigned char receivedata[64] absolute 0x500;

    unsigned char senddata[64] absolute 0x580;

Here we have created character type two array variable senddata & receivedata. During USB Communication we must have to keep all data in USB RAM. PIC 18F2550 microcontroller's USB RAM memory address begins with 0x500 and ends with 0x7F. That's why, we kept the receivedata[64]  in 0x500 location and senddata[64] in 0x580.
2. 

void Interrupt(){

USB_Interrupt_Proc();}

void Interrupt() is one user defined function which contains USB_Interrupt_Proc()  function inside . Interrupt means restriction for something. When  interrupt is enabled, microcontrller doesn't perform main function. It will perform only interrupt function or ISR(interrupt service routine). After clearing the flag main method works.

3. HID_Enable(&receivedata,&senddata); 

This function will initialize USB. It locates receivedata variable and  send data variable.

Note : HID means "Human Interface Device"

4. char HID_Read();

This function receives data. If receiving is failed, it returns 0. Otherwise it returns character .

while(!HID_Read());

It means, this function tries to receive data until  data are being received .

char HID_Write();

This function receive data. If receiving is failed, it returns 0. Otherwise it returns the numbers of data .while(!HID_Write());

 It means, this function tries to send data until  data are being sent. 

5.for(i=0;i<64;i++>

senddata[i]=receivedata[i];    

}

This loop will run from 0 to 63 and will keeps the received data to senddata variable from receivedata variable.

Rs 232 , Serial Communication with PIC Microcontroller in Proteus [step by step details]

Basically a microcontroller or computer can communicate with other computer through serial communication.
  If we would like to make a successful communication between PC(Desktop) and microcontroller, we need a protocol named Rs 232 protocol. Generally we use Rs232 for long distance connection.If you have a laptop , you need a " Usb to Serial Converter ". Because laptop doesn't have serial port .Usually desktop contains a serial port but laptop doesn't .

Please Watch these :

Usb to Serial Converter

Take a look on DB9 Connector's and it's Pinout.For serial communication we will need this connector .

We will use only three pins (RX,TX & GND) .Here TX to transmit  data and RX to receive data. Now look at the picture given below :

                                                        RS 232 Cable Length 

In this tutorial we will use baud rate 9600. You can use another rate, if you want. We need an IC named maxim 232 or max 232 for communication. Look at the picture i have given blow :

Max 232

We need this ic for rs232 protocol .In this tutorial we will connect pic18f2550's Tx pin  with T1 and pic18f2550's Rx with R1out. Let's create a project in proteus 8. If you don't have proteus 8 you can download with crack  from this site.
