What's On-Board
RS-232 communication with a PC or an MCU is performed via DB9 connector and MAX232 level converter.
System can be configured by means of DIP switches. Each DIP switch configures one part of the system.
Voltage reference for A/D and D/A converters can be either VCC (5V) or 4.096V. It depends on the programmer's needs.
Support provided for MCUs in DIP18, DIP28 and DIP40 packages. EasydsPIC6 comes with a dsPIC30F4013.
Potentiometer is used for testing multiple A/D conversions. Inputs can be configured via jumpers.
USB or external power supply source is selected by moving a jumper. Power supply switch turns the system on/off.
ICD2 connector is used for connecting external programmer/debugger.
All microcontroller pins are connected to the IDC10 connectors for further expansion.
41 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used to indicate the logic state of all microcontroller pins.
On-board jumpers are used for pull-up/pull-down port configuration. These jumpers are available for all pins.
44 push buttons are used to excite microcontroller digital inputs.
DIP switch is used to easily separate port pins from pull-up/pull-down resistors.
Very fast, on-board USB 2.0 programmer with mikroICD. There is no need to connect the external programmer.
LCD can be easily connected via the on-board connector that is also connected to MCU pins.
GLCD Contrast Potentiometer is used for adjusting display contrast.
Touch Screen can be connected to the board via the Touch screen connector. There is also a Touch Screen controller.
External power supply can be DC or AC. On-board jumper is used for selecting external power supply.
Quartz Crystal is directly connected to the microcontroller pins and can be easily replaced by another one.
4x4 and Menu keypads allow efficient entry of numeric and other characters as well.
All MCU pins are marked on the back of the board. These marks give basic information on the pins.
Voltage level to be applied when a button is pressed (GND or +5V) is selected via the on-board jumper.
USB connector is used to connnect the on-board programmer with a PC.
Reset circuit is used to reset the microcontroller. It is connected to the MCLR pin of the microcontroller.
Graphic LCD is directly connected to the microcontroller pins.
2x16 Character COG Display is used for displaying text messages. It is connected via SPI.
On-board 16-bit I/O port expander MCP23S17 enables you to add more inputs or outputs.
On-board Piezzo Buzzer is capable of emitting audio signals with frequency range between 20Hz and 20Khz.
Serial EEPROM Module 24AA01 is capable of storing up to 1Kbit of data and uses I2C communication.
On-board CAN module MCP2551 is used for communication with other microcontrollers.
Temperature Sensor DS1820 measures temperature from -55°C to 125°C. It is connected to the system via socket.
On-Board Programmer and In-Circuit Debugger
3 in 1 Development System - Development System + On-Board USB 2.0 programmer + On-Board mikroICD (In-Circuit Debugger): mikroICD is a highly effective tool for Real-Time debugging at hardware level. It enables you to execute mikroC, mikroPascal and mikroBasic programs on a host dsPIC30F MCU and monitor variable values, Special Function Registers (SFRs), RAM and EEPROM memory modules while the program is running. There is also an ultra fast USB 2.0 programmer for MCU programming that now supports more dsPIC30F MCUs.
Windows® Certified Drivers
Drivers for the on-board programmer are Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows® Vista and Windows® 7 certified. The Windows certificate is a proof that the programmer supports mentioned Windows operating systems and is immediately recognized by the system, which guarantees correct Plug and Play functionality. Driver certification provides users with a wide range of benefits such as stable functioning, the ability to install and delete drivers without rebooting and compatibility with future versions of Windows.
