Part I - Hardware Design Primer
In this section, we are going to cover every one of the Chameleon PIC’s hardware sub-sections, so you can get an idea of
what’s going on and how the systems and signals are routed. Taken as a whole the Chameleon is rather complex, but as
you will see, each individual sub-system is rather straightforward. Let’s begin with a bird’s eye view of the entire system
schematic on the next page in landscape mode given in Figure 2.0 (a). Please take a good look at it, and see if you can
locate the PIC, Propeller, FLASH memory, EEPROM, and power supplies to help with our discussions. Then right under it
in Figure 2.0(b) is a PCB view so you can see where everything is as well as a clear view of the I/O headers in black and
white with high contrast. The board is so small it’s, a bit hard to see things.
