Chapter 2. Getting Started
The PICDEM 2 Plus may be used as a stand-alone board with a preprogrammed
device, with an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) or with an In-Circuit Debugger (ICD). For a list
of PICmicro microcontroller compatible ICEs or ICDs, please refer to the Development Systems Ordering Guide or the Microchip Third Party Guide.
2.1PICDEM 2 PLUS AS A STAND-ALONE BOARD –
PREPROGRAMMED DEVICE
The PICDEM 2 Plus may be demonstrated immediately by following the steps listed
below:
• Place the preprogrammed sample device in the appropriate socket on the
PICDEM 2 Plus board.
• Place a jumper on J6 (to enable the LEDs).
• Verify that the board is set up for a 4 MHz canned oscillator (i.e., no jumper on J7;
a 4 MHz oscillator in Y2; Y1, C4 and C5 are empty).
• Apply power to the PICDEM 2 Plus. For information on acceptable power sources,
see Appendix A.
To reprogram the sample device, the following will be necessary:
1. Program source code.
User source code may be used to program the device or, if this has previously
been done, the sample program may be restored from the file on the included
CD-ROM.
2. An assembler, such as MPASM™ assembler (available with MPLAB IDE), or a
compiler, such as MPLAB C18 (PIC18 devices only).
Source code must be assembled or compiled into a Hex file before it can be
programmed into the device. Microchip Technology’s MPASM assembler or
MPLAB C18 C compiler may be used. Both are compatible with MPLAB IDE.
However, other assemblers/compilers may be used. For a list of these PICmicro
MCU compatible language tools, please refer to the Microchip Third Party Guide.
3. A device programmer, such as PRO MATE
PICSTART
MPLAB IDE v6.00 or greater).
Once the sample program is in Hex file format, a programmer may be used to
program a Flash device. Microchip Technology’s PRO MATE II device
programmer, PICSTART Plus development programmer or MPLAB ICD 2 may
be used. All are compatible with MPLAB IDE. However, other programmers may
be used. For a list of these PICmicro MCU compatible programmers, please refer
to the Microchip Third Party Guide.
If the code protection bit(s) have not been programmed, the on-chip program
memory can be read out for verification purposes.

Chapter 3. Tutorial
The tutorial program is preprogrammed into the sample device, (i.e., p16demo.hex for
a PIC16 device and p18demo.hex for a PIC18 device). Also, this program is on the
included CD-ROM program disk for user reference, (i.e., if the sample device has been
reprogrammed with another program, the tutorial may be reprogrammed into the
device).
For detailed information on the PICDEM 2 Plus hardware, please refer to Appendix A.
3.1TUTORIAL PROGRAM OPERATION
The tutorial program is made up of four components, which are individually displayed
on the LCD.
1. Voltmeter
This mode uses the A/D module to measure the voltage of the R16 pot and
display a voltage between 0.00V and 5.00V on the LCD. Voltage is continually
updated until the mode is exited by pressing RB0.
2. Buzzer
This mode turns on the Piezo buzzer, using the CCP1 module I/O pin, RC2. The
period and duty cycle of the CCP1 frequency can be changed while the buzzer
is on. The changes in period and duty cycle are recognized immediately in the
buzzer tone. To change the period and/or the duty cycle, press RB0 under the
“Buzzer” menu. The buzzer will then sound off with the default setting of 80h for
the period and duty cycle. The cursor will flash over the period’s first digit,
indicating that the PR2 register is ready to be incremented. To change the duty
cycle, press RA4 once and the cursor will now flash over the duty cycle’s first
digit, indicating it is now ready to increment the CCPR1L register. The next press
of RA4 will exit the buzzer function.
3. Temperature
This mode uses a TC74 thermal sensor to measure ambient temperature in
Celsius and then display that temperature on the LCD. Communication between
the PICmicro MCU and sensor is accomplished using the MSSP module. This
mode is exited by pressing RB0. This mode contains code that will write to the
external on-board EEPROM. Every two seconds, the code will write to a defined
EEPROM address and store the current temperature in that address.
4. Clock
Once this mode is entered from the main menu, a real-time clock will start
counting from 00:00:00. The Timer1 module and a 32 kHz clock crystal are used
to establish a real-time clock. By pressing RA4, the clock time can be set to the
user’s preference. When RA4 is pressed to set the time, the cursor will flash over
the hours ten digit. Press RA4 again and the cursor will now flash over the
minutes ten digit. RB0 is used to increment hours and minutes whenever the
cursor is flashing over either. After the minutes have been set, press RA4 and the
time will be set and the LCD is returned to an active clock display.
The data that is sent to the LCD is also sent to the RS-232 serial port using the USART
on the PICmicro MCU. A HyperTerminal™ program on the PC will be able to display
the same information that is displayed on the LCD
