SAMPLE APPLICATION PROJECTS
The dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Kit CD contains sample projects for each of the 
dsPIC DSC devices supported by the dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board. These sam-
ple programs are intended to jump start your application development by showing you 
how to implement and configure dsPIC30F peripherals such as A/D converters, exter-
nal interrupts, timers, SPI, and UART interfaces and I/O ports. Complete C source code 
is provided that shows how to how to write interrupt service routines and how to use 
device control register structures for configuring peripherals and I/O ports. These sam-
ple C files are bundled into MPLAB IDE projects that let you begin work out of the box.
The sample application projects and source code were created with:
• MPLAB IDE v7.11
• MPLAB C30 v1.32
The sample application projects for each dsPIC30F device are located in the folder:
