INTRODUCTION
TUTORIAL OVERVIEW
The PIC24FJ256DA210 Development Board may be used with MPLAB IDE, the free
integrated development environment available on Microchip’s website. MPLAB IDE
with Microchip’s compatible programming/debugging hardware allows the develop-
ment board to be programmed and/or debugged.
For more information on how to use the MPLAB IDE, please refer to the following
documentation:
• MPLAB IDE User’s Guide (DS51519)
• MPLAB IDE Quick Start Guide (DS51281)
• MPLAB IDE Online Help
This chapter includes the following:
• Tutorial Overview
• Loading the Project
• Building the Code
• Programming the PIC24FJ256DA210
• Running the Code
• Debugging the Code
Creating projects with the Microchip Graphics Library requires that a number of files be
included in the project. It is much more efficient to start a new project based on an exist-
ing demo application release with the Microchip Graphics Library. The tutorial in this
chapter uses that route to guide development of new applications. All demo
applications are written in C for MPLAB C30.
The Demonstration Applications are provided with the Microchip Applications Library
downloadable from http://www.microchip.com/mal. When installed in a specified path
(for example,C:\Microchip Solutions\), the help file Graphics Library
Help.chm is located in the path C:\Microchip Solutions\Micro-
chip\Help\Graphics Library Help.chm. The help file contains the Graphics
Library release notes and description of the API. It also contains useful information on
the demo applications that can run on the development board.
Note:
This tutorial was developed using MPLAB IDE v8.40 and MPLAB C30
Compiler v3.30 as the software tools, and the Microchip Graphics Applica-
tions Library v2.10. Before proceeding, verify that you have at least these
revision levels.
