Figure 3-4: Connecting ICD2 connector Figure 3-5: Connecting ICD2 or ICD3 programmer In order to enable the ICD2 and ICD3 programmers to be connected to the development system, it is necessary to provide the appropriate connector such as the ICD2 CONNECTOR BOARD. This connector should be first soldered on the CN9 connector, Figure 3-4.
4.0. Touch screen The development system features a TFT 320x240 display covered with a sensitive 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 way of entering and displaying data depends on the program loaded into the microcontroller.
5.0. Flash memory module Since multimedia applications are getting increasingly demanding, it is necessary to provide additional memory space to be used for storing programs by the microcontroller. The flash memory module enables the microcontroller to use additional 8Mbit flash memory.
6.0. MMC/SD connector There is a built-in MMC/SD connector for MMC/SD cards provided on the development system. It enables the system to additionally expand available memory space. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is used for communication between the microcontroller and MMC/SD card.
7.0. Audio module The mikroMMB for PIC33 features an audio module providing an interface for stereo headphones.This module enables audio reproduction by using stereo headphones connected to the system via a 3.5mm connector CN6. Volume as well as other functions of this module are controlled by the microcontroller from within the software using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
8.0. Pads The access to the microcontroller pins on the development system is enabled via pads provided along the two long sides of the development system. Figure 8-1: Pads Figure 8-2: Pads and microcontroller connection schematic MikroElektronika...
