Starting with Lab 3 students are required to have the hardware and software as follows:

- Microcontroller EVB Kit
    Students should contact directly Technological Arts, Toronto, Canada (Ph: 1-877-963-8996) to purchase their Kits. They
   should identify themselves as students taking the ECE 451/595 course with the ECE Dept., WMU, to get their 15%
   educational discount. When specifying the Kit they should be referring to the customized one that has been shipped to the
   ECE Department and being referred to as "WMU1". It can also be directly selected on their Web Page.

- ICC12 Standard (Version V6.16) 6-Month Student License
Students should contact ImageCraft through the site www.imagecraft.com. The instructions to buy the license are linked
   here for your convenience. Select Ordering then Secure Order Form to find the instructions. NOTE: YOU HAVE TO
   FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION GIVEN THERE TO THE LETTER TO AVOID BEING CHARGED AT THE REGULAR
       PRICE ($199). SHOULD THAT STILL HAPPEN THEN YOU HAVE TO CONTACT IMAGECRAFT VIA EMAIL TO
       RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

- Large Solderless Protoboard
       These boards are being sold through the IEEE Student Branch. If you don't have a board yet you should contact Dr.
   Mason (Room B-233) to place your order. As always, you are free to buy it through some vendor, instead.

- Electronic Parts Kit for the Labs and Projects
        The IEEE Student Branch will help in acquiring the Kits (will order the parts and put together the Kits) for those students
who place an order and prepay for their Kits (either cash, or check). Updated price information will be posted in Week
1. Students should see Dr. Mason (Room B-233, Office Hours MTWR 2:00-3:00pm) if they want to purchase their Kits
through the IEEE Student Branch. If you cannot make it at any of these times please contact Dr. Mason (276-3157) to ask
for an appointment.
     The final deadline for placing an order is 5:00pm on Wednesday, 09/08/04.
     Again, students are free to buy these parts through vendors, instead.

Students are encouraged to download the ICC12 v16 Demo Version (permanently expires after one month) from ImageCraft's Web site at www.imagecraft.com. It will allow you to work on your lab and homework assignments outside Lab Hours until you will have received your unlock codes.

If you want to install ICC12 on a computer with Windows XP then first you have to install Service Pack XP SP1 in order to get ICC12 work!
