The purpose of this lab is intended to introduce the user to creating a project in the 
MPLAB IDE using Microchip’s Full-Speed USB Firmware Framework. Though many 
application examples in the Framework can be used to create original code, building 
the Framework from scratch is a great way to get familiar to the overall functionality of 
this multitasking tool. 

The user will create a project, ensure that the IDE is configured accordingly, and alter 
the usb_descriptor.c file to enable the enumeration of the PIC18F14K50 as a HID 
mouse device.

2.4.2.1

BUILDING THE FRAMEWORK

1.

Open the MPLAB IDE by selecting Start>Programs>Microchip>MPLAB IDE 
vx.xx>MPLAB IDE

2.

Once in the MPLAB IDE, start the Project Wizard by selecting Project>Project 
Wizard

3.

Select the PIC18F14K50 as the device, select the MPLAB C18 C Compiler as 
the language toolsuite, and create a new project folder in the following directory:
C:\Microchip Solutions\Project Lab 1\Project Lab 1

In this and all subsequent project labs, the USB cable must be discon-
nected from the USB mini-B connector on the Low Pin Count USB Devel-
opment Board when programming with the PICkit 2 programmer.
