Shield Power Connector The PIC32 microcontroller is rated to use a maximum of 98mA of current when operating at 80Mhz. This allows up to ~400mA from the VCC3V3 bus and from the VCC5V0 bus to power external devices. The power connector, (Figure 3- 6 Shield Power Connector) , is used to provide power to shields connected to the board. 5V Compatibility The PIC32 microcontroller operates at 3.3V, and many Arduino shields are designed to operate at 5V. There are two issues to consider when dealing with 5V compatibility for 3.3V logic. The first is protection of 3.3V inputs from damage caused by 5V signals. The second is whether the 3.3V output is high enough to be recognized as a logic high value by a 5V input. The digital I/O pins on the PIC32 microcontroller are 5V tolerant. The analog capable I/O pins are not 5V tolerant, so applying 5V logic levels to any not 5V tolerant pin may damage the microcontroller! The minimum output high voltage of the PIC32 microcontroller is rated at 2.4V when sourcing 12mA of current. When driving a high impedance input (typical of CMOS logic) the output high voltage will be close to 3.3V. Some 5V devices will recognize this voltage as a logic high input, and some wont. Many 5V logic devices will work reliably with 3.3V inputs.

Microchip Development Tool Compatibility The board can be used as a more traditional microcontroller development board using Microchip Development Tools. Unloaded connector Microchip Debug Tool Connector is used to connect to a Microchip development tool, such as the PICkit3. The holes are narrowed so that a standard, 100mil spaced, 6-pin header can be press fit to the board without the need to solder it in place. Any Microchip development tool that supports the microcontroller family, and can be connected via the same 6-pin interface as the PICkit3 can be used. Typically, a short six-wire cable can be used between the PICkit3 and the board. The Microchip MPLABIDE or the MPLABX IDE can be used to program and debug code running on the board. These programs can be downloaded from the Microchip web site. Using the Microchip development tools to program the board will cause the boot loader to be erased. To use the board with the boot loader again, it is necessary to program it back onto the board.

6 - Quick Start
With its pre-installed demo application, the Starter Kit is designed to be used straight out of the box. Except for a single connection to a computer, no additional hardware or configuration is necessary. Connect the Starter Kit with USB cable ( Figure 3- 3) to any available USB port on the PC or powered hub, open the power switch, the red power LED should light indicating the presence of power. Now, using Dupont wire(s) connect any port pin(s) of the MCU to any/many on board LED(s). The LED(s) should blink. This demo application blinks all ports pins of the MCU, each time only one port pin goes high to blink a LED. with Microchips HID bootloader -which allow you to load the program without any other programmer- and which is already programmed into the microcontroller - you can now easily load your program. But before doing so, you need to download the PC program from www.Microchip.com Do search for Microchip Application Libraries ,download and install. We used this version : MCHP_App_Lib_v2010_04_28_Installer.zip In folder USB Device Bootloaders you will find the PC program HIDBootLoader.exe. Execute it. You will see that the device was not detected, don't worry.. it is because you are not in bootloader mode. To be in bootloader mode, you should press both switches at the same time, and release RESET switches while keeping the other switch (RG15) pressed, and the PC program should detect it now, so release the last switch.. Now you can read, write, erase... the device using that PC program. You may need to export the demo application (blinking LED) for further use. you can compile your code with MPLAB C32 C Compiler and program the chip using HIDBootLoader.exe, but to ensure your code works, you should always include Linker Script in the project as shown at the figure below Figure 6 - 1:
