CURIOSITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 1. Introduction to Curiosity The Curiosity Development Board supports Microchip's 8-, 14- and 20-pin 8-bit PIC® MCUs. Dual-row expansion headers on either side of the socket offer flexibility of connectivity to all pins on the PIC MCUs. This board provides flexibility for experimentation through an application header with ground (GND) and supply voltage (VDD) connections.

Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide 1.3 POWER SOURCES The Curiosity Development Board can be powered in one of three ways, depending on its usage. 1.3.1 USB Connector (J2) The USB connector (J2) will power the entire Curiosity Development Board. A shunt jumper must be placed onto jumper J12 (Figure 1-2). The right two pins of J12 will connect +5V from the USB connector J2. The left two pins of J12 will connect +3.3V from the USB voltage regulator on the back side of the development board.
CURIOSITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Getting Started The Curiosity Development Board must be used with MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), available free on Microchip's web site, www.microchip.com. Use version v3.05 or later. The Curiosity Development Board, through MPLAB X, is a low-voltage in-circuit debugger, as well as a low-voltage programmer, for all supported devices.
Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide MPLAB X refers to the Curiosity Development Board as “Starter Kits (PKOB)”, with “Curiosity” listed below. Click on Curiosity, the correct device and XC8 compiler version being used, then click Apply (Figure 2-2). On the upper left hand corner of the Properties window, click on Starter Kit (PKOB) (Figure 2-3). The window will change to the Options for Starter Kit (PKOB) window (Figure 2-3).
Getting Started Note: When using the PKOB for programming, the Low Voltage Programming (LVP) bit of the Configuration Word(s) must be set (LVP = ON or '1'). Select options category “Program Options” and then “Enable Low Voltage Programming,” if it is not already selected. Click Apply, then OK (Figure 2-3). Once the project is finished, the microcontroller is ready to be programmed. Simply click on the Make and Program Device Main Project button and the device will be programmed (Figure 2-4).
CURIOSITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 3. Troubleshooting This chapter discusses common operational issues and how to resolve them. 3.1 THE DEMO APPLICATION DOES NOT RUN Curiosity Development Board must be plugged into a powered USB hub, computer, or other USB host device. To run the application, ensure the conditions listed below are met: 1. Start by plugging it into the USB device port, J2. LEDs D1 and D2 should light when VBUS is detected. 2.
