CONNECTING TO HOST PC FOR RS-232 COMMUNICATION
As shown in Figure 2-9, there are two ways to connect a PC to the PICDEM PIC18
Explorer Demonstration Board.
• Via the USB Port
• Via the DB9 Pin (RS-232 Port)
FIGURE 2-9:
2.5.1
To connect the PICDEM PIC18 Explorer Demonstration Board to a host PC via the
nine-pin DB9 connector, set jumper J13, as shown in the first illustration in Figure 2-10.
This routes the main microcontroller’s communications through a transceiver.
