BOARD SETUP
To summarize, following are the items that will be required to evaluate the two daughter
boards included in the box:
• Two Explorer 16 Development boards (DM240001)
• Two 9V Power Supplies (AC002014)
• One REAL ICE (DV244005)/ICD3 (DV164035)/PICkit 3 (PG164130)
It is important to understand that some countries have multi-phase power supplies
within buildings. In this case, connecting daughter boards to power outlets on different
phases may result in partial or total loss of the communication link. A signal coupler
device will be required to communicate across different phases of the power supply. A
typical signal coupler device consists of a high voltage rated capacitor, optionally in
series with an inductor, connected across the two phases of the power supply as shown
in

recommended.
