PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Board
Summary
The PICDEM HPC Explorer Board is the latest 64/80 TQFP demostration board for evaluating
Microchip Technology's PIC18F and PIC18FXXJXX families of devices. It comes populated with
a PIC18F8722 MCU. Direct connection support is available for the MPLAB
®
ICE 2000 and
MPLAB ICE 4000 processor modules, plug-in modules and MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Programmer.
Software
The PIC18F8722 MCU is preprogrammed with demonstration software which displays information
on the Windows
®
HyperTerminal program via the serial port.
Use the following settings:
57600 baud
8 data bits
No Parity
1 Stop bit
No Flow Control
Autodetect terminal emulation
On power-up, PIC18F8722 will continuously display the LED states, potentiometer voltage, RB0
button state, temperature and relative time in minutes and seconds. NOTE: Pressing the RB0
button during power-up enables the bootloader. The LEDs can be toggled by pressing the 1
through 8 keys.
