dsPIC Ready1

Manual

All Mikroelektronikas development systems feature a large number of peripheral

modules expanding microcontrollers range of application and making the
process of program testing easier. In addition to these modules, it is also
possible to use numerous additional modules linked to the development system
through the I/O port connectors. Some of these additional modules can operate

Additional board
as stand-alone devices without being connected to the microcontroller.

dsPIC Ready1
The dsPIC Ready1 additional board is used to experiment with dsPIC microcontrollers in DIP40 package.

Key features:

- Data transfer via USB-UART communication;

- Programming via the external programmer;
- Pads;
- 8 to 16V AC/DC power supply voltage;

How to connect the board?

The dsPIC Ready1 board features five 2x5 connectors (CN1 - CN5) that enable connection between the pins of the
microcontroller plugged into the appropriate socket on the board and external devices. A 2x5 connector CN6 is used
to connect the dsPICFlash programmer to the microcontroller pins used for programming. A USB connector CN51
enables connection between the additional board and a PC via the UART module. In order to enable USB-UART
communication, it is necessary to place the appropriate switch on the DIP switch SW1 to the ON position. By doing
this, the RX and TX pins of the USB-UART module are connected to the appropriate pins of the microcontroller. The
additional board is powered with a voltage in a range between 8 and 16V AC/DC via the CN8 connector.

How to use the board?

In order to use the dsPIC Ready1 additional board, it is first necessary to place a microcontroller in DIP40 package into
the appropriate socket supplied on the board. The microcontroller is programmed with the dsPICFlash programmer that
is plugged via its IDC10 connector into a 2x5 connector CN6 supplied on the board. In order to reset the microcontroller,
just press the RESET button. When the programming process is finished, it is necessary to place jumpers over the 2x5
connector CN6, Figure 1.
