Implementation of Taylor Method by the Use of Microcontrollers

In recent years, microcontrollers have been used in many areas. Implementation of a circuit by using several discrete analog and digital devices can be done using only one microcontroller. However, industrial microcontrollers have limited resources to implement complex mathematical functions, such as Taylor series. In this work, implementation of Taylor series on a PIC microcontroller is given. Taylor series algorithm of the function of f(x) = Sinx for the point of a=0, is implemented on a PIC microcontroller board. With PIC micro controller that does not have a floating point as the CPU unit; it was demonstrated by software how the floating-point arithmetic is done. The results of the functions are displayed at the 2x20 lines LCD display. The input of the function (number input) is made with the button that is connected to the PIC18F452's PORTB. At the same time, the input of the numbers can be made demonstrated with the keypad module.
