INTRODUCTION
HIGHLIGHTS
GETTING STARTED
The dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board provides both a hardware and software base-
line capability to help jump start your application. The board is pre-configured for and
populated with a dsPIC30F4011 Digital Signal Controller (DSC). The dsPIC30F4011 is
preprogrammed with a sample application program ready to run out of the box.
This chapter describes how to run the application and evaluate the program to take
advantage of the sample software.
Items discussed in this chapter include:
• Getting Started
• Out-of-the-Box Demo
• Device Programming Process
• In-Circuit Debugging Process
• Summary
The dsPICDEM 2 sample application program demonstrates key functionality of the
dsPIC30F devices. This sample application program processes analog data from a
temperature sensor and potentiometer provided on the board. It also processes
interrupts generated from pushbutton switches on the board. Based on the input data,
the program creates output in the form of LED indicators, which blink in response to the
pushbutton switches, and an LCD screen, which displays the temperature and
potentiometer values. The program also uses the dsPIC30F’s UART module to mirror
LCD information (via RS-232 connection) to a remote terminal.
The sample application is written in C language and tailored specifically for each
dsPIC30F device supported by the dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board. Figure 2-1
outlines helpful processes to get you started using the dsPICDEM 2 board.
