3. RUNNING SAMPLE PROGRAMS
To develop and debug programs for the RCM5600W (and for all
other Rabbit hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C.
This chapter provides a tour of its major features with respect to
the RCM5600W.
3.1 Introduction
To help familiarize you with the RCM5600W modules, Dynamic C includes several
sample programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a solid
hands-on overview of the RCM5600W’s capabilities, as well as a quick start with
Dynamic C as an application development tool.
NOTE: The sample programs assume that you have at least an elementary grasp of ANSI
C. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C User’s Manual for a sug-
gested reading list.
In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,
1. Your RCM5600W must be installed on the Interface Board as described in Chapter 2,
“Getting Started.”
2. Dynamic C must be installed and running on your PC.
3. The USB cable must connect the Interface Board to your PC.
4. Power must be applied to the RCM5600W through the Interface Board.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Getting Started,” if you need further information on these steps.
To run a sample program, open it with the
File menu (if it is not still open), then compile
and run it by selecting Run in the Run menu (or press F9). The RCM5600W must be in
Program Mode (see Figure 11) and must be connected to a PC using the USB cable.
Complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User’s Manual.
