3. RUNNING SAMPLE PROGRAMS
To develop and debug programs for the RCM5700/RCM6700 (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
RCM5700/RCM6700.
3.1 Introduction
To help familiarize you with the RCM5700/RCM6700 modules, Dynamic C includes several
sample programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a solid hands-on
overview of the RCM5700/RCM6700’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 suggested reading
list.
In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,
1. Your RCM5700/RCM6700 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 RCM5700/RCM6700 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 RCM5700/RCM6700 must be in Program
Mode (see Figure 4-12) 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.
