CHAPTER 2: 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: Three connectors can be found in the board. A 10 pin FRC cable is used to make connection with external.

10-pin-frc-box-type-connectors

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. If the port has less no of pins then it is arranged from 1 up to 8 and the VDD, VSS are same.

20×2 FRC connectors: this will be FEMALE or MALE type connectors. Connector J10 is connected with microcontroller’s pins 1-20 and the connector J11 is connected to pins 40-21. The following diagram shows the connection.

POWER SUPPLY

The external power can be AC or DC, with a voltage (9V, 1A output). The DSPIC board produces +5V using an LM7805 voltage regulator, which provides supply to the peripherals. Power supply is controlled through slide switch J2. We can provide an alternate power supply from USB

3.3 Configuring Programmer for DSPIC Development Board 1.

☞First attach the DSPIC Microcontroller Development Board with PC via USB cable.

☞Connect the 9V AC/DC Adapter with Development Board or Just use USB power.

☞Turn ON the Power Switch (either USB side or EXT side).

☞Wait until the PICkit2 Finishes Driver Installation*. If the driver not detected just try to reconnect or RESTART your system, then try again.

reconnect or restrat

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

open-mplab-ide

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”

pickit2-ready-message

7. Finally open our Example Programs, Burn it to the controller, do the hardware connection as per Chapter 4 and See the result.

POSSIBLE ERRORS

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 or “Unspecified device error”. If it does, follow the instructions below

☞Ensure whether the DSPIC microcontroller placed properly in ZIF jacket.

☞In Configure–>Select device, ensure DSPIC16F877A (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 DsPICkit2 programmer.
