4. Programming the microcontroller Figure 4-1: PIC18F47J53 microcontroller The microcontroller can be programmed in two ways: 01 Using USB HID mikroBootloader, 02 Using external mikroProg™ for PIC®, dsPIC®, PIC32® programmer.
Programming with mikroBootloader step 1 – Connecting PIC clicker You can program the microcontroller with bootloader which is preprogrammed by default. To transfer .hex file from a PC to MCU you need bootloader software (mikroBootloader USB HID) which can be downloaded from: http://www.mikroe.com/downloads/get/2039/ mikrobootloader_usb_hid_pic18f47j53.zip 01 After the mikroBootloader software is downloaded, unzip it to desired location and start it.
step 2 – Browsing for .HEX file step 3 – Selecting .HEX file 01 01 02 Figure 4-3: Browse for HEX Figure 4-4: Selecting HEX 01 Click the Browse for HEX button and from a pop-up window (Figure 3.4) choose the .HEX file which will be uploaded to MCU memory. 01 Select .HEX file using open dialog window. 02 Click the Open button.
step 4 – Uploading .HEX file 01 01 Figure 4-5: Begin uploading Figure 4-6: Progress bar 01 To start .HEX file bootloading click the Begin uploading button. 01 Progress bar enables you to monitor .HEX file uploading.
step 5 – Finish upload 01 Figure 4-7: Restarting MCU Figure 4-8: mikroBootloader ready for next job 01 Click OK button after the uploading process is finished. 02 Press Reset button on PIC clicker board and wait for 5 seconds. Your program will run automatically.
Programming with mikroProg™ programmer Figure 4-9: mikroProg™ connector The microcontroller can be programmed with external mikroProg™ for PIC®, dsPIC® and PIC32® programmer and mikroProg Suite™ for PIC® software. The external programmer is connected to the development system via 1x5 mikroProg™ connector, Figure 4-9. mikroProg™ is a fast USB 2.0 programmer with hardware debugger support. It supports PIC10®, PIC12®, PIC16®, PIC18®, dsPIC30/33®, PIC24® and PIC32® devices from Microchip®.

5. mikroProg Suite™ for PIC® Software The mikroProg™ programmer requires special programming software called mikroProg Suite™ for PIC®. It can be used for programming all Microchip® microcontroller families, including PIC10®, PIC12®, PIC16®, PIC18®, dsPIC30/33®, PIC24® and PIC32®. The software has intuitive interface and SingleClick™ programming technology. Just download the latest version of mikroProg Suite™ and your programmer is ready to program new devices.

6. Buttons and LEDs 01 02 03 Figure 6-1: Two buttons, two LEDs and a reset button The board also contains 01 reset button and a pair of 02 buttons and 03 LEDs. Each of these additional peripheral are located in the bottom area of the board. Reset button is used to manually reset the microcontroller. Pressing the reset button will generate low voltage level on microcontroller reset pin. LEDs can be used for visual indication of the logic state on two pins (RA0 and RA1).
