2.5 STARTING THE TUTORIAL PROJECT
Click the MPLAB IDE icon on your computer desktop. The MPLAB IDE opens with the
starter kit tutorial project loaded, as shown in Figure 2-7. If the MPLAB IDE does not
have the starter kit tutorial project loaded, select File>Open Workspace...
from the
menu bar and browse to the tutorial project file:
[install directory]\PIC32 Starter Kits\
Starter_Kit_Tutorial\starter_kit_tutorial.mcw
(or browse to the file path you used when you installed the MPLAB IDE).
The pane on the left of the MPLAB IDE interface displays project files, the ‘
.c’, ‘.h’ and
‘
.a’ files that are used to build an application. The project files are organized by type
into folders.
“Starter Kit Found” should be displayed in the “Output” pane of the MPLAB IDE inter-
face. If you do not see this message, select Debugger>Select Tool>PIC32MX Starter
Kit from the menu bar. If that sequence fails to find the project, check the driver
installation, as well as the connections between the hardware and the PC.
