How do I start?
In order to start using mikroProg
™
and program your
microcontroller, you just have to follow two simple steps:
1. Install the necessary software
- Install USB drivers (Page 14)
- Install mikroProg Suite
™
for PIC
®
software (Page 15)
2. Power up the board, and you are ready to go.
- Plug in the programmer USB cable
- Turn on Power switch
- LINK and POWER LED should light up.
EasyPIC Fusion
™
v7 is equipped with RJ-12 connector compatible
with Microchip
®
ICD2
®
and ICD3
®
external programmers. You can
either use the on-board mikroProg
™
programmer or external
programming tools as long as you use only one of them at the
same time. Insert your ICD programmer cable into connector
CN33, as shown in images

Why so many LEDs?
Three LEDs indicate specic programmer operation, Figure 5-1. Link LED lights up when USB link is established with your PC, Active LED lights up when programmer is
active. Data LED lights up when data is being transferred between the programmer and PC software (compiler or mikroProg Suite
™
for PIC
®
).
