Chapter 3: On-board peripherals and Connection Details

1. Microcontroller Section
This section consists on minimum circuit of PIC microcontroller i.e clock circuit,
reset circuit, ICSP Connector and Port Pins. All Ports pin available on 10 FRC and Berg strip
connector as shown below. JP1 connector is used for programming the microcontroller using
ICSP i.e. PICKIT3 Programmer. But in this case we don’t need the PICKIT3 programmer
since programming can be done using Serial Boot loader. Therefore we are using USB to
Serial converter for downloading the Hex File into microcontroller.
Reset button is used to reset the microcontroller. Clock circuit consists of 20MHz
crystal. Therefore while calculation of baud rate, timer delay the FSOC is taken as 20MHz
only.
This section also consists of three pin connector (JP8) for interfacing the servomotor
with microcontroller.

Chapter 4: Programming Steps

Generally PICKIT3 or ICD programmer is used to download the hex file into PIC
microcontrollers. This is needs to purchase the PICKIT3 or ICD Programmer with additional
cost.

The ArisePIC v1.1 is preloaded with Serial Boot loader firmware. This allows the user to
program the microcontroller without using separate programmer. Only we need is
Programming Utility – Tiny Multibootloader for downloading the hex file.

 Using of Tiny Multibootloader

a. Connect the Power supply and keep the board in switched ON mode.
b. Connect the USB port of trainer kit to a PC using USB Cable.
c. Open Tiny Multibootloader utility.
d. Click on search COM port for detecting the COM port of development board
e. Select COM Port of Development Board (User Can check the COM Port by
navigating Device Manager on Computer)
f. Select the Baud Rate 115200 for serial communication

j. Browse the .Hex file to be downloaded into PIC microcontroller.

k. Click on write device button to download
l. Automatically starts downloading and shows Upload was successful in messages
window. (Refer the figure). If downloading will not start automatically, press the
RESET button while Boot loader searches for PIC.

Note: The microcontroller is preloaded with boot-loader software. Programming with other
Device s/ programmers or removing the microcontroller from the development board could
damage the boot-loader. In this case, the company won’t be liable for the damages caused
and no replacement/refunding/reloading is entertained.
