CONNECTING THE SYSTEM
Apart from this manual, the development system box contains development system, product CD, USB cable
and user manuals for
PICflash programmer, mikroICD Debugger
and
Installing USB drivers
. In order to use the
EasyPIC5 properly, it is necessary to go through the following steps:
Step no.1
Take the development system and product CD out of the box. Insert the product CD into
CD drive. Do not connect the development system to a PC yet.
Step no.2
Install PICflash programmer software to enable a program to be transferred from PC to the
microcontroller chip. For detailed installation instructions refer to the
PICflash programmer
manual.
Step no.3
Install USB drivers on your PC to enable programmer's hardware to operate properly on
the EasyPIC5 board. For detailed installation instructions refer to the
Installing USB driv-
ers
manual
.
Step no.4
Connect the EasyPIC5 to PC using USB cable. Please use one of the USB ports on the
back of the PC because these are directly connected to the computer motherboard. If you
turn ON the power supply switch on the EasyPIC5 board for the very first time, your PC
will immediately detect a new hardware. You will be immediately prompted whether Win-
dows should search for new drivers update or not. Select the option
No, not this time
and
click
Next
. Another window appears, click
Next
and the operating system will automatical-
ly find the drivers. Click
Finish
to complete this process and run PICflash as explained in the
PICflash programmer
manual.
After these four steps, your EasyPIC5 is successfully installed and ready for use. You can read a program from
the chip or write another one into it. The product CD provides numerous simple program examples to make
your first steps Easy...
