ASSOCIATED TOOLS

Figure 1-2 shows the block diagram of the hardware and software tools that the
Humidity Sensor PICtail™ Demo Board is designed to work with. More information on
these tools can be found in the "Recommended Reading" section.
FIGURE 1-2:
1.4.1
This board is described in Section 1.3 "Humidity Sensor PICtail™ Demo Board".
1.4.2
00084R1.hex is the firmware file that supports the Humidity Sensor PICtail™ Demo
Board application. It implements the measurement routines and the data
communications with the PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit.
1.4.3
The ICSP header provides a means to program the PIC16F690. It is intended for
connection to devices that program the on board PIC16F690, such as the MPLAB
ICD 2 (DV164005) and the PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer (DV164120).
1.4.4
The PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit (DV164101) programs PICmicro
used to program the PIC16F690, and provides a communications link with the PC. The
PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit's PIC16C745 has a USB port that communicates with the
Humidity Sensor PC Program. It also connects to the Humidity Sensor PICtail™ Demo
Board (the on-board PIC16F690) via a header (see Figure 2-1).
This board provides a single +5V supply voltage for the daughter board. It can drive up
to 5 μF on the supply; a larger capacitance may interfere with program timing.
1.4.5
This software resides on the PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit's PIC16C745 microcontroller.
Use version 2.0.2 or later.
