ROGRAMS
To develop and debug programs for the RCM3305/RCM3315
(and for all other Rabbit hardware), you must install and use
Dynamic C.
3.1 Introduction
To help familiarize you with the RCM3305 and RCM3315 modules, Dynamic C includes
several sample programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a
solid hands-on overview of the RCM3305/RCM3315’s capabilities, as well as a quick
start using Dynamic C as an application development tool.
NOTE: The sample programs assume that you have at least an elementary grasp of the C
programming language. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C
User’s Manual for a suggested reading list.
More complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User’s Manual .
In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,
1. Your RCM3305/RCM3315 must be plugged in to the Prototyping Board as described
in Chapter 2, “Getting Started.”
2. Dynamic C must be installed and running on your PC.
3. The programming cable must connect the programming header on the RCM3305/
RCM3315 to your PC.
4. Power must be applied to the RCM3305/RCM3315 through the Prototyping Board.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Getting Started,” if you need further information on these steps.
To run a sample program, open it with the File menu, then press function key F9 to com-
pile and run the program. The RCM3305/RCM3315 must be in Program Mode (see
Figure 8) and must be connected to a PC using the programming cable.
