Application Maestro Software

Summary

The Microchip Application Maestro™ Software is a stand-alone software tool to configure and incorporate a range of pre-written firmware modules into your applications. Its heart is a collection of modules developed by Microchip Technology for use with its PICmicro devices. Starting from a graphic interface, select one or more available modules, then configure the parameters listed. When this is complete, the Application Maestro Software generates code that can be incorporated into the application project, using MPLAB® IDE or any compatible development environment.

It is important to note that the Application Maestro Software is not a plug-in or add-on to the MPLAB line of development tools.

Application Maestro Software also differs from other librarian systems because it does more than archive and manage related files for a single software project. Instead, it manages a library of ready-to-configure modules that can be customized to the application, and creates the necessary files for inclusion in the project on demand.

Application Maestro Software is a repository of pre-written software solutions that are optimized for the many peripheral features of Microchip controllers. It is no longer necessary to spend hours digging through code archives or documentation, trying to find the source code for an RS-232 serial communication port or CAN engine, then manually adding it to a new project. Nor do you have to re-invent a block of application code when you can’t find that one elusive archive. With the Application Maestro Software, it’s all in one place.
