Overview

The MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC24H MCUs connects directly to the USB port on a personal computer (PC). The PC USB connection supplies communications and power to the board.The starter kit includes debug and programmer circuitry that allows applications to be programmed onto the board’s PIC24H MCU device and then debugged, all using MPLAB IDE.The sensor signals from an on-board triaxial analog accelerometer are routed to the fast on-chip ADC module in the PIC24H MCU for software processing. This feature allows the Starter Kit to be manoeuvred by tilting. Based on the sensed acceleration due to the tilting of the board, a visual output is generated on the on-board OLED display controlled by the Parallel Master Port (PMP) module. Additionally, the speech segments are audibly produced through the on-board speaker via the output compare module as a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) digital waveform. This output is converted to an analog speech signal by a low-pass filter on the starter kit board. Alternatively, applications can use the conditioning circuitry to plug-in a wide range of analogue sensors, grab the sensor signals through the ADC and process them.
