USING THE EXPLORER 16 OUT OF THE BOX

Although intended as a development platform, the Explorer 16 board may also be used
directly from the box as a demonstration board for PIC24 and dsPIC33F devices. The
programs discussed in Chapter 3. "Explorer 16 Tutorial Programs" are
preprogrammed into the sample device PIMs (i.e., PIC24ExplDemo.hex for the
PIC24 device and dsPIC33ExplDemo.hex for the dsPIC33F device) and are ready
for immediate use.
To get started with the board:
1. For Explorer 16 boards without a permanently mounted PIC24FJ device: verify
2. For Explorer 16 boards without a permanently mounted PIC24FJ device: verify
3. Verify that the jumper on JP2 is installed (to enable the LEDs).
4. Apply power to the board (9 VDC) at power input J2. For information on accept-
Refer to Chapter 3. "Explorer 16 Tutorial Programs" for details on the demonstration
code operation.

to use the dsPIC device PIM, carefully remove the PIC24 PIM and install the
dsPIC33F PIM in its place. For all PIMs, be certain to align the PIM so the
notched corner marking is oriented in the upper left corner.
