INTRODUCTION
PLUGGING INTO THE PIC18 EXPLORER BOARD
The MRF24J40MA/MB PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be plugged into multi-
ple Microchip Technology demonstration and development boards. This allows the
developer to choose the microcontroller that best suits the customer’s development
environment.
The PICtail connector right angle header, P2, can plug into 8-bit demonstration and
development boards, such as the PIC18 Explorer Board (DM183032). The PICtail Plus
card edge connector, P1, can plug into Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001).
This chapter shows how the daughter board is plugged into the PIC18 Explorer and
Explorer 16 Development Boards.
The MRF24J40MA/MB PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be plugged into the
PIC18 Explorer Board PICtail connector, J3, as shown in Figure 2-1. Make sure to align
pin 1 to RE2 as shown.
2.2.1
On the PIC18 Explorer Board, push button switch S2 is normally connected to I/O port
pin RA5. RA5 is not a change on interrupt or external interrupt capable I/O pin. Jum-
pering JP3 with a shunt allows the connection of RA5 to RB2/INT2 to allow push button
switch S2 to trigger an interrupt. Keep in mind that RB2 also connects to pin 10 (input)
of U6 (RS232 level shifter) which is a Clear-to-Send (CTS) signal on P2 pin 8 (DE9
receptacle).
Ensure that the PIC18F87J11 PIM is plugged into the PIC18 Explorer Board. This
sets the system V
PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board.
