2.1.1 Using the Board As Is
To immediately implement the PICDEM PIC18 Explorer Demonstration Board to
demonstrate the PIC18F8722 microcontroller:
1. Designate the mounted, PIC18F8722 device as the board’s main microcontroller
by moving Switch S4 to PIC MCU, as shown in Figure 2-1.

MICROCONTROLLER
2. Enable the LEDs by placing a jumper on JP1, as shown in Figure 2-2.
FIGURE 2-2: JP1, JP2 AND JP3 JUMPERS
3. Enable the EEPROM and the LCD by placing a jumper on JP2 and JP3, as
shown in Figure 2-2.
4. Apply power to the board.
For information on acceptable power sources, see Appendix A. “Hardware
Details”.
The device now can be demonstrated using the tutorial program. (See
Section 3.1 “Tutorial Program Operation”.)
