Hello guys, I have this final year project about a file tracking system, using Microcontroller PIC's embedded in the folders that are stored in the cabinets. Now my question is first how to program it?...In other words Can i use C to program those MCU's since my assembly language is not so well. Second I need an interface between I2C lines and my PIC...what is I2C protocol. Any help is much appreciated it

Thank you all

 

Are you using RFID technology to implement this?

no that was the point of using Microcontrollers. i want to look for the files in the cabinets using PICs that are tagged in every folder. and reporting back to my pc via hub

 

How do you propose to power all these PIC's? How do they make a connection to communicate? How does each individual PIC know the contents of the associated folder?

 

Well the power is supplied to the hub through a rectifier/Regulator..which will transmit power to the drawer controllers. Each hub controls its own network which combines power distribution and serial communication. and attached to the network is one or more controllers which are networked to one or more drawers containing the tagged files
