Chapter 3. Running Sample Programs; Introduction - RabbitCore RCM4500W User Manual

C-programmable zigbee core module

Table of Contents

To develop and debug programs for the RCM4510W (and for all other

Rabbit hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C. This chapter

provides a tour of its major features with respect to the RCM4510W.

To help familiarize you with the RCM4510W modules, Dynamic C includes several sample pro-

grams. Loading, executing, and studying these programs will give you a solid hands-on overview

of the RCM4510W's capabilities, as well as a quick start with Dynamic C as an application devel-

opment tool.

This chapter provides sample programs that illustrate the digital I/O and serial capabilities of the

RCM4510W RabbitCore module. Section 6.2 discusses the sample programs that illustrate the

ZigBee features.

NOTE: The sample programs assume that you have at least an elementary grasp of the C lan-

guage. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C User's Manual for a sug-

gested reading list.

In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,

1. Your module must be plugged in to the Prototyping Board as described in Chapter 2, "Getting

Started."

2. Dynamic C must be installed and running on your PC.

3. The programming cable must connect the programming header on the module to your PC.

4. Power must be applied to the module through the Prototyping Board.

Refer to Chapter 2, "Getting Started," if you need further information on these steps.
