Getting Started: Running the “Device
– HID - Mouse” demo
Configuration
1: PICDEM™ FS USB
Configuration
2: PIC18F87J50 PIM + HPC Explorer
Configuration
1: PICDEM FS USB
Configuration
2: PIC18F87J50 PIM
To run this project, you will need one of the
following sets of hardware:
PICDEM
FS USB (DM163025)
PIC18F87J50
Plug-In-Module (PIM) (MA180021)
PIC24FJ256GB110
Plug-In-Module (PIM) (MA240014)
Explorer
16 (DM240001)
USB
PICtail™ Plus Daughter Card (AC164131)
This
section describes how to set up the various configurations of hardware to run
this demo.
Configuration 1: PICDEM FS USB
Configuration 2: PIC18F87J50 PIM + HPC Explorer
Configuration 3: PIC24FJ256GB110 PIM + Explorer 16
1)
If using the PICDEM FS USB Demo Board, no hardware related configuration or
jumper setting changes should be necessary.
The demo board need only be programmed with appropriate firmware.
1)
Short JP4 on the PIC18F87J50 PIM. This
allows the demo board to be powered through bus power.
2)
Short JP1 such that the “R” and “U” options are shorted.
1)
Before attaching the PIC24FJ256GB110 PIM to the Explorer 16 board, insure that
the processor selector switch (S2) is in the “PIM” position as seen in the
image below.
2)
Short the J7 jumper to the “PIC24” setting
3)
Before connecting the PIC24FJ256GB110 PIM to the Explorer 16 board, remove all
attached cables from both boards.
Connect the PIC24FJ256GB110 PIM to the Explorer 16 board. Be careful when connecting the boards to
insure that no pins are bent or damaged during the process. Also insure that the PIM is not shifted in
any direction and that all of the headers are properly aligned.
4) On the USB PICTail Plus board, short jumper
JP1. Remove all other shorts on the
board.
5) Connect the USB PICTail Plus board to either
of the female PICTail Plus connectors or on the card edge connector (J9) at the
edge of the Explorer 16 board.
To
run this project, you will need to load the corresponding firmware into the
devices. There are two methods available
for loading the demos: Precompiled demos and source code projects.
Precompiled
Demos are available in the “<Install Directory>\USB – Precompiled Demos”
folders. Each demo should be prefaced
with the hardware platform it is compiled for.
Select the file that matches the hardware that you have and the demo
that you want to run. For more
information about how to load a precompiled project, please see the “Getting
Started – Loading a precompiled demo” guide.
The
source code for this demo is available in the “<Install Directory\USB Device
– HID Mouse” directory. In this
directory you will find all of the user level source and header files as well
as project and workspace files for each of the hardware platforms. Find the project (*.mcp)
or workspace (*.mcw) file that corresponds to the
hardware platform you wish to test.
Compile and program the demo code into the hardware platform. For more help on how to compile and program
projects, please refer to the MPLAB® IDE help available through the help menu
of MPLAB IDE (Help->Topics…->MPLAB IDE).
This
demo uses the selected hardware platform as a USB mouse. Before connecting the board to the computer
through the USB cable please be aware that the device
will start moving the mouse cursor around on the computer. There are two ways to stop the device from
making the cursor to continue to move.
The first way is to disconnect the device from the computer. The second is to press the correct button on
the hardware platform. Pressing the
button again will cause the mouse cursor to start moving in a circle again.
