INITIAL SETUP
This item discussed in this chapter is:
• Initial Setup
The following procedure describes how to set up the PICDEM MC LV Development
Board to run with a dsPIC
1. Place the PICDEM MC LV Development Board on a sturdy platform/surface.
2. Confirm that a dsPIC30F2010, dsPIC30F3010 or dsPIC30F4012 is mounted in
3. Connect the 24V power supply to J5. DO NOT connect the motor wires to the

board. LED D7 (red) should turn on. If it does not turn on, check the polarity of
the power supply connector. If it is correct and LED D7 does not turn on,
disconnect the power to the board and contact Microchip’s local office or
distributor.
using dsPIC devices:
AN957, “Sensored BLDC Motor Control Using dsPIC30F2010 ” (DS00957)
AN992, “Sensorless BLDC Motor Control Using dsPIC30F2010 ” (DS00992)
AN957 and AN992 have been developed using the PICDEM MC LV Development
Board. The code available with these Application Notes can be downloaded from
the Microchip web site (www.microchip.com) and will work with the BLDC motor
provided in the application kit. To generate a project and program using MPLAB
ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger, refer to the “ MPLAB
User’s Guide ” (DS51331).
2:
The PICDEM MC LV Development Board is intended to drive the 3-phase
BLDC motor. Before connecting the motor, make sure that the power
rating of the motor is equal or less than the power rating of the board, as
shown in Appendix B. “Electrical Specifications”. Also, make sure the
jumper settings are correct for the firmware programmed into the target
dsPIC device mounted on the socket. Failure to comply with this warning
could lead to malfunction of the board, the motor and could be hazardous
to the development staff.
Before beginning the start-up procedure, complete a visual check of the
board and the motor for connectivity and mechanical damage. If damage
is found, DO NOT power-up the board. Otherwise, you may further
damage the equipment. Contact Microchip’s local office or distributor
immediately.
