To develop and debug programs for the RCM5400W (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 RCM5400W modules.

To help familiarize you with the RCM5400W modules, Dynamic C includes several sam-

ple programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a solid

hands-on overview of the RCM5400W's capabilities, as well as a quick start with

Dynamic C as an application development tool.

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

of the RCM5400W RabbitCore module. Section 6.2.4 discusses the sample programs that

illustrate the Wi-Fi features.

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

language. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C User's Manual

for a suggested reading list.
