EXPLORER 16 DAUGHTER DEMO BOARD DEMOS 
This section describes how to demonstrate the MCP42XX PICtail Plus Daughter 
Board. The demos will either use an Explorer 16 Developers Board or a PICkit Serial 
Analyzer.
The demo using the Explorer 16 Developers Board is discussed in 
Section 2.4.1 “Demos with the Explorer 16 Starter Kit”While the demo using the 
PICkit Serial Analyzer is discussed in Section 2.4.2 “Demo with the PICkit Serial 
Analyzer”
.
  
2.4.1
Demos with the Explorer 16 Starter Kit
      
This Demo will use the Explorer 16 Starter Kit. This board needs to be programmed 
with the supplied firmware. This firmware can be found on the included CD-ROM or can 
be downloaded from the Microchip web site. It is good practice to check the Microchip 
web site for updates to the demo firmware. 
The supplied firmware program has two modes of operation. In the first mode, the 
program generates a saw wave on the VW1 pin (see Figure 2-6). The second mode is 
to display the operation of High Voltage commands to Wiper 1 (see Figure 2-7). This is 
where the CS signal is driven to 9V. 
The program selected is determined after a reset (including the Power-on reset) by the 
state of the S3 switch. The programs are:
• Wiper 1 Saw Wave (Switch S3 not depressed) 
• Increment / Decrement with High Voltage Write to Non-Volatile Wiper 1 Register 
(Switch S3 depressed)
Table 2-1 shows the required hardware to operate the demo.
TABLE 2-1:
DEMO HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS  
Note:
Both demos require that the MCP42XXDM-PTPLS board jumper settings 
are as shown in Figure 2-4. 
Note:
For information on how to use the MPLAB-IDE, ICD-2, or any other aspect 
of the PIC Development tool platform, please refer to the appropriate 
documentation.

Note 1:
A development tool to program the Explorer 16 Developers Board is required. This 
development tool could be Microchip’s MPLAB ICD-2. 
2:
An oscilloscope with fewer channels can be used, but this will require that the 
probes be moved between signals to verify the output states. A 2 channel is the 
minimum requirement, but is not recommended.
