Hardware Details

SOCKETS

40 Pin ZIF socket is provided for the processor. Microcontroller can be removed from the board easily. This socket is intended to use our development board as programmer to program other IC’s.

10 pin FRC box type connectors: This will be found in each section of PIC 16F/18F development board. A 10 pin FRC cable is used to make connection with the main board section. Any 8 bit port of microcontroller can be used for interconnection. Ports having less than 8 bits are used as control signals for various sections.

Pins 1-8 are Data Pins. Pin 9 is VDD and the Pin 10 is GND. All 10 Pin FRC connectors will follow the same rule.

ADC	Supply select for Analog channels
DS1820	Connects DS1820 temperature sensor to RC0
CS, SCL, MISO, MOSI	SPI and I2C Selection pins: Turn ON SCL and MISO for I2C operation Turn all the pins for SPI operation
TXD, RXD	RS232 communication transmit, receive pins

POWER SUPPLY

The external power can be AC or DC, with a voltage (15V, 1A output). The PIC board produces +5V using an LM7805 voltage regulator, which provides supply to the peripherals. Power supply is controlled through slide switch SW2.

Installation Notes

Installing MPLAB IDE and Hi-tech C Compiler

Open up the user CD comes with PIC Microcontroller Board, Navigate to MPLAB IDE Folder

Double Click Setup.exe and Click >> Next

8. Now the MPLAB IDE setup will Progress

9. After finishing installation MPLAB IDE, it will prompt for HI-TECH C Installation. Click >> Yes

10. Click >> Next

11. Click >> License agreement Check box and Click >> Next

12. Click >> Next

13. Check >> Add to environment path and Click >> Next

14. Click >> Finish

15. Click >> Finish to InstallShield Wizard Complete

16. Just Close the MPLAB IDE Document Support

Creating a Project on MPLAB IDE

1. Double Click the MPLAB IDE v8.xx from desktop

2. To create a new project, Click >> Project and Project Wizard.

3. At the first page of Project Wizard, Click >> Next.

4. Step ONE: Next, you will need to select the device for your project. For this demonstration I will use PIC16F877A as the device.

5. After selecting the device, click >> Next

6. Step TWO: Select the Compiler for your Project.

7. Click the Active Toolsuite and select HI-TECH Universal ToolSuite.

8. There should not be any red “X” mark (For those with the red “X”, please reinstall the HI-TECH C for PIC 10/12/16). Click Next to continue.

Example: See the “Red X” mark that appears before CCS C compilers

9. Step Three: Select the directory to store your project and your project name.

• Click on Browse to open a browser where you choose the directory and the project name.
• It is advised that you use a new folder for a new project, and all the coding file (c file, h file, asm file) should be stored under the same folder.

10. Now enter the Project Name and Click >> Save

11. Click >> Next to the following window

12. Step four, Add existing file to your project. Just Skip this by clicking Next.

13. You have successfully created the project. Click Finish to continue.

14. The project that you create will be open after you successfully create it, and this is what you will see at the IDE, a Project window and an Output window.

If you don’t have these windows on your IDE, you can always enable it back by clicking View >> Click the Project and Output.

15. Click on the icon (New File) to create a new file.

16. After creating the new file, now save it. Click File and Save As.

17. To save it as a c file, put a “.c” at the File name of the file to save. Save the file in the same directory of your project.

18. Now include the “.c” file into your project, right click at the Source File, and click Add Files.

19. Select the file that is being saved.

20. Now the code file “main.c” is added to your project. You can see that it is shown under the Source Files at the Project window.

21. To compile the project, click on the Build Project button or the Rebuild project button.

22. Now you successfully created all the things. Now write your code and Compile it.

Configuring Programmer for PIC Development Board

• First attach the PIC Microcontroller Development Board with PC via USB cable.
• Connect the 15V AC/DC Adapter with Development Board.
• Turn ON the Power Switch.
• Wait until the Pickit2 Finishes Driver Installation. If the driver not detected just try to reconnect or RESE-Tart your system, then try again.

5. After Finishing the Hardware driver installation. Open MPLAB IDE. Select Programmer >> Select Programmer >> PICkit2

6. If the Kit is properly connected, you can see the Pickit2 Icon set on the Toolbar (Yellow Set) and the PICkit2 Ready Message. Very First icon is used for “Programming the device”.

7. Finally open our Example Programs, Burn into the controller, do the hardware connection as per Chapter 2 and See the result.

Error 1: MPLAB may throw “Write Failure-Get lost Error”. If it does, follow the instructions below,

• Unplug the Power supply from target board
• Close MPLAB
• Plug the AC/DC adapter
• Reopen MPLAB

Error 2: MPLAB may throw “target not found” error, If it does, follow the instructions below

• Ensure whether the PIC microcontroller placed properly in ZIF jacket.
• In Configure–>Select device, ensure PIC16f877A (or any) is selected.

Error 3: MPLAB may throw “Verified Failed” error, due to the following

• Hex File may be old, so compile the project once and try Programming.
• Faulty microcontroller device, Replace it with new one.

Note *: If the error still retains check your windows firewall or antivirus software to allow this MPLAB and Pickit2 programmer.
