4.2.1 Set up

Follow these steps to set up the extended 8-bit Wireless Development Kit demo:

1. Connect the LCD Serial Accessory Board J1 port to the J2 or J3 I

C port of the

RS232 Serial Accessory Board (see

Figure 4-1).

2. Connect the J1 port on the RS232 Serial Accessory Board to the J101 connector

on the PIC18 Wireless Development Board.

3. Plug in the Radio PICtail Daughter board at slot J201 on the PIC18 Wireless

Development Board.

4. To power from an external power source (9V or USB), insert a jumper at JP301

(Regulator Disconnect) on the PIC18 Wireless Development Board. To power

from batteries, remove the jumper at JP301.

5. Insert a jumper at JP201 (LED power) on the PIC18 Wireless Development

Board.

6. Ensure that the jumper is disconnected at the JP1 position on the LCD Serial

Accessory Board. This ensures that the LCD Serial Accessory Board is used in

C mode and not in SPI mode. The 8-bit WDK demo uses the LCD Serial

Accessory board in I

C mode.

7. Wireless demo board can be powered using any one of these options:

• Two AA batteries

• 9V external power supply

• USB port

• External 3.0-3.6V power source through test points TP301and TP302

8. Insert a jumper at either JP302 or JP303 (Current Measure) on the PIC18

Wireless Development Board.

9. Connect a RS232 cable between the RS232 Port on RS232 Serial Accessory

Board and the PAN Coordinator (PC).

10. Run the terminal program from the PC with the previous settings.

Note: Windows 98 or Windows XP operating systems (OS) users can use the

hyper-terminal program, and Windows 7 or any other OS users can

download other terminal software programs from the web.
