Introduction to mikromedia for PIC18FK
Mikromedia for PIC18FK is a compact smart
display and development platform with the
PIC18F67K40 microcontroller from Microchip.
The large 320x240 TF T color display will allow
you to build multimedia applications with speed
and ease. You can use it for development and
as a final product. A 320x240 T FT Color Display
with Touch Screen and S tereo MP3 Codec chip,
microSD™ card, a preprogrammed PIC18FK MCU
and compiler support — you are set for creating
some amazing projects. It comes preprogrammed
with USB bootloader, but can also be programmed
with external programmer s, such as mikroProg™
or ICD2/3. Mikromedia is compac t and slim, and
per fectly fit s in the palm of t he hand, which makes
it convenient platform for mobile devices.

1. Power supply
Battery power supply
You can also power the board using Li-Polymer battery,
via on-board battery connector. On-board battery
charger circuit MCP73832 enables you to charge the
battery over USB connection. LED diode (RED) will
indicate when battery is charging. Charging current is
~250mA and charging voltage is 4.2V DC.
USB power supply
USB power supply - You can apply power
supply to the board using micro USB cable
provided with the board. On-board voltage
regulators provide the appropriate voltage
levels to each component on the board.
Power LED (green) will indicate the presence
of power supply.

3.1 Programming with mikroBootloader
You can program the microcontroller with a bootloader
which is preprogrammed by default. To transfer .hex
file from a PC to MCU you need bootloader software
(mikroBootloader USB HID) which can be downloaded
from:
https://download.mikroe.com/examples/starter-boards/
clicker-2/pic18fk/clicker-2-pic18fk-mikrobootloader-v100.zip
After the mikroBootloader software is downloaded,
unzip it to desired location and start it.
