== ISO/TS16949==
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

USER’S GUIDE
Note: Configure Terminal Emulation Software (ex. Tera Term) for 19200 baud, 8
bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow Control.
• Power Supply (+9V) at J12
1.3 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS FOR MM7150-PICTAIL TO EXPLORER 16 BOARD
Note: Before attempting to connect the MM7150-PICtail with PICtail™ Plus Edge
connector module to the Explorer 16 board, it is crucial that the power supply to the Explorer 16 be disconnected. Failure to do so may damage the
MM7150 Motion Module.
1.3.1 Direct Plug-In
The MM7150-PICtail can be installed directly into the Explorer 16 Board. Insert the
MM7150-PICtail into the PICtail™ header J5 with pin 1 of the module lining up with pin
1 of the header, as seen in Figure 1-1.

HEADER.
1.3.2 Using Extension Cable
The MM7150-PICtail motion module can be connected to the Explorer 16 development
board via a custom extension cable. Using an extension cable will allow freedom of
movement compared with directly inserting the MM7150-PICtail board into the PICtail
header on the Explorer 16 board.
Please see Appendix C. “Extension Cable for Explorer 16” for more information.
