1.3 GETTING STARTED WITH THE rfPIC DEVELOPMENT KIT 1
The transmitter modules come pre-programmed with a transmitter demonstration. The
enclosed PIC16F676 is programmed with a receiver demonstration program. Together
they demonstrate an on-off command and control application.
The PICkit 1 FLASH Starter Kit serves as a low-cost development and demonstration
platform for the transmitter and receiver modules.
To see your rfPIC Development Kit 1 in action, perform the following steps:
1.3.1 Preparing the Receiver Module for Operation
Step 1:
Familiarize yourself with the PICkit 1 FLASH Starter Kit operation by reading the
PICkit™ 1 FLASH Starter Kit User’s Guide (DS40051) and performing some of the
tutorials. Familiarity with the PICkit Starter Kit will be assumed throughout this user’s
guide.
Step 2:
Remove power from the PICkit Starter Kit by disconnecting the USB cable.
Step 3:
Remove the PIC12F675 from the PICkit Starter Kit evaluation socket.
Step 4:
Insert the PIC16F676 into the PICkit Starter Kit evaluation socket. See Figure 1-1.
Step 5:
Insert a receiver module (315 or 433.92 MHz) into the PICkit Starter Kit expansion
header J3. Make certain that the receiver module is oriented correctly. See Figure 1-1.
