Microstick for 3V PIC24 K Series Devices

Overview

The Microstick for 3V PIC24 K Series Devices is designed to provide an easy-to-

use, economical development environment for 16-bit microcontrollers. The board

includes an integrated debugger/programmer, a socket for the target micro-

controller chip and pins that facilitate insertion into a prototyping board for

extremely flexible development.

to using the Microstick for 3V PIC24 K Series Devices. This board is designed to run

with MPLAB IDE Version 8.80 or later. While the MPLAB IDE provides assembler

tools for development, most code examples provided for Microchip devices are writ-

ten in C language and require a C compiler to be installed. Microchip’s MPLAB C

Compiler seamlessly integrates into the MPLAB IDE. Both the MPLAB IDE and C

Running Applications

After downloading and installing the development tools, please use the following

procedure to build, run and debug your software:

1.

Load the code example into MPLAB IDE by double clicking the *.mcw project

file.

2.

Inform MPLAB IDE which target microcontroller is plugged into the Microstick

board by selecting the appropriate device from the Configure>Select

Device>Device menu.

3.

Build the project by selecting Project>Build All.

4.

Connect the Microstick board to the development computer via a USB cable.

5.

Enable the MPLAB IDE debugger by selecting:

Debugger>Select Tool>Starter Kit on Board.

6.

Download the firmware into the target microcontroller chip by selecting

Debugger>Program.

7.

Run the application previously downloaded by selecting Debugger>Run.

8.

Install Jumper JP1 to enable the on-board LED for RA0.

For more information on building, running and debugging your application, refer to

the MPLAB IDE Help.

Note 1: MPLAB C Evaluation Version (free) – All optimization levels are

enabled for 60 days, then limits to optimization Level 1. The compiler

will continue to function, but code size may increase. There are no

restrictions on the use of this C compiler (see license text for details).
