The typical connections to use the development board as shipped from the factory are 
shown in Figure 1-4. To run the pre-programmed demo application:

1.

Connect the Truly 3.2” Display Board display into Display Connector V1 (depend-
ing on the development board kit ordered, this may or may not be included with 
the development board)

2.

Plug a 9V power supply into J1

To program the board for application development, use one of the two programming 
ports provided:

• J10, a 6-wire RJ-11 jack (for use with MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE 

programmers)

• J9, a 6-pin riser (for use with the PICkit 3 programmer)

See Section 4.3.5 “Programming and Debugging Interface” for additional details 
on the programming ports.

The development board is pre-programmed with a demo application designed for the 
Truly 3.2” Display Board. The application automatically runs when power is applied to 
the board, and shows various Microchip Application Libraries integrated into a single 
application. The demo is described in more detail in Chapter 2. “The Demonstration 
Application”.

The application can be reconfigured to run on other display panels. To do this, the 
board must be reprogrammed with the proper HEX file. For directions on reprogram-
ming the development board, see Section Chapter 3. “Programming and Debug-
ging the Board”. 

Additional demonstration programs are provided with the Microchip Graphics Library, 
discussed in the following section. Refer to the Graphics Library Help file for details on 
how to download and run the additional demo applications.
