Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H Devices
Overview
The Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H devices is designed to provide an easy
to use, economical development environment for 16-bit digital signal controllers
and microcontrollers. The board includes an integrated debugger/programmer, a
socket for the device under test and pins that facilitate insertion into a prototyping
board for extremely flexible development. 
Please check http://www.microchip.com/microstick for the list of supported
devices.
Getting Started
Everything you need to get started can be found at http://www.microchip.com/
microstick.
Installing MPLAB
®
 IDE and C Compilers
MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) should be installed prior to
using Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H Devices. This board is designed to run
with MPLAB IDE version 8.50 or later. While MPLAB IDE provides assembler tools
for development, most of the code examples provided for Microchip devices are
written in C language and require a C compiler to be installed. Microchip’s MPLAB
C Compiler seamlessly integrates into MPLAB IDE. Both the MPLAB IDE and C
Compiler are free
(1)
 and available for download at: http://www.microchip.com/
MPLAB.
Note 1: Standard Evaluation (Free) – All optimization levels are enabled for
60 days, but then reverts to optimization level 1 only.
Code Examples and More Information
For code examples and more information, please visit the Microstick for dsPIC33F
and PIC24H Devices

Running and Debugging Applications
After downloading the code example and installing the development tools, please
use the following procedure to build, run and debug your software:
1.
Load the code example into MPLAB IDE by double clicking the *.mcw
project file.
2.
Inform MPLAB IDE what device is plugged in to the Microstick Board by
selecting the appropriate device from the Configure>Select Device>Device
menu.
3.
Build the project by selecting Project>Build All.
4.
Connect the Microstick Board to the development computer via a USB
cable.
5.
Enable the MPLAB IDE debugger by selecting Debugger>Select
Tool>Starter Kits
.
6.
Download your code into a device on the Microstick Board by selecting
Debugger>Program.
7.
Run the application previously downloaded by selecting Debugger>Run.
8.
