mikroProg Suite for PIC Software ™ ® mikroProg™ programmer requires special programming software called mikroProg Suite™ for PIC®. This software is used for programming Microchip® microcontroller families, including PIC10®, PIC12®, PIC16®, PIC18®, dsPIC30/33®, PIC24® and PIC32®. Software has intuitive interface and SingleClick™ programming technology.
ICD3® programmer In order to enable the ICD2® and ICD3® programmers to be connected to the Figure 3-11: mikromedia board, it is necessary to provide the appropriate connector such as the Placing ICD2® ICD2 CONNECTOR BOARD. This connector should be first soldered on the CN5 connector.
4. Reset Button Board is equipped with reset button, which is located at the top of the front side (Figure 4-2). If you want to reset the circuit, press the reset button. It will generate low voltage level on microcontroller reset pin (input).
5. Crystal oscillator Board is equipped with 8MHz crystal oscillator (X1) circuit that provides external clock waveform to the microcontroller CLKO and CLKI pins. This base frequency is suitable for further clock multipliers and ideal for generation of necessary USB clock, which ensures proper operation of bootloader and your custom USB-based 32.768kHz Crystal oscillator applications.
6. microSD Card Slot Board contains microSD card slot for using microSD cards in your projects. It enables you to store large amounts of data externally, thus saving microcontroller memory. microSD cards use Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for communication with the microcontroller.
7. Touch Screen The development system features a TFT 320x240 display covered with a resistive touch panel. Together they form a functional unit called a touch screen. It enables data to be entered and displayed at the same time. The TFT display is capable of showing graphics in 262.144 diffe rent colors.
8. Audio Module Figure 8-1: On-board VS1053 MP3 codec Figure 8-2: The mikromedia for PIC24EP® features stereo audio codec VS1053. This Inserting 3.5mm module enables audio reproduction by using stereo headphones connected headphones jack to the system via a 3.5mm connector CN2.
PIC24EP512GU810 microcontroller has integrated USB module, which enables you to implement USB communication functionality to your mikromedia board. Connection with target USB host is done over MINI-B USB connector which is positioned next to the battery connector. Figure 9-1: Connecting...
10. Accelerometer ADXL345 On board accelerometer is used to measure acceleration in three axis: x, y and z. The accelerometer function is defined by the user in the program loaded into the microcontroller. Communication between the accelerometer and the microcontroller is performed I 2 C via the interface.
Figure 12-1: Connection pads schematic Most microcontroller pins are available for further connectivity via two 1x26 rows of connection pads on both sides of the mikromedia board. They are designed to match additional shields, such as Battery Boost shield, Gaming, PROTO shield and others.
15. mikromedia accessories We have prepared a set of extension boards pin-compatible with your mikromedia, which enable you to easily expand your board basic functionality. call them mikromedia shields. But we also offer other accessories, such as Li-polymer battery, stacking headers, wire jumpers and more.
Now you are ready to start using your new board. We are suggesting several steps which are probably the best way to begin. We invite you to join the users of mikromedia™ brand. You will find very useful projects and tutorials and can get help from a large ecosystem of users.
